Jason Smith - 上官杰文(@ShangguanJiewen):This bridge in Guizhou, the tallest in the world, is now a national and international tourist site. That is part of poverty alleviation. Not just transporting people, but it was built in a very poor part of China deliberately. Now, millions of tourists are pouring money into local homestays, new cafes and restaurants, and everything else too. This is precisely one combination-method China uses to raise local populations out of poverty. Infrastructure and tourism. 👇
