Yes, yes and yes. That&#x27;s exactly the &quot;secret&quot; of Chinese economy boom miracle: despite all the issues in this country, it&#x27;s people feel safe enough to invest time and money in some activities that may improve their life, and usually does.<p>And notice that while still useful in some cases, charities and NGOs didn&#x27;t play a major role in taking a billion of Chinese out of poverty. Mostly they were given a stable enough environment and did it themselves.<p>[Edit] And infrastructure, yes again. That&#x27;s very stunning, when comparing China and, e.g. India.
