1.4 billion people in the world live on less than US$1 a day.
More than 800 million people go to bed hungry every day,
including 300 million children.

urban incomes are more than three times higher than rural incomes.

Apart from income inequality, there has also been an increase in
inequality of educational outcomes and health status.

Rural development in China is indeed a priority.
