### Comment:
I have been to couple big cities in China. It looks like a developed country there for sure. But I wonder what it looks like when you go outside of big modern cities into countryside. And generally what is the wealth distribution overall, how large is middle class? Is the large enough to consider it a developed nation? Isn't there a huge number of very poor people in rural areas still? I mean developing nation poor, not like poor people in rural areas in US/Europe.

These are just from what I’ve seen, so take it with a grain of salt 
  
 As a chinese with a lot of family in rural China, it is really bad there. People lack clean water, no roads, lots of sanitation issues etc... Not to mention, there is a serious lack of middle class, due to the low cost of labour. I personally have family working at 100 yuan/ 20CAD a day in Xi’an, one of the major cities in China.
