Moreover, contrary to popular belief, much of the dramatic poverty reduction in China over the last three decades was due not to integration into the global economy, but to domestic factors like growth in the agricultural sector (where mass poverty was concentrated). This is attributable largely to public investment in rural infrastructure, and, in the initial period, to institutional changes in agrarian production organization and an egalitarian distribution of land-cultivation rights.
而且，与普遍的看法相反，在过去30年里，中国国内贫困人口数量的急速下降并不是由于融入了全球经济，而是由诸如农业部门（大量的贫困人口都处在这一领域）的发展等国内因素所导致的。而这些因素的出现则主要归结于对农村基础设施的投资以及早期对农业生产组织形式和耕地平均分配的改革。
