According to the World Bank, more than 850 million Chinese people have been lifted out of extreme poverty; China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 0.7 percent in 2015, as measured by the percentage of people living on the equivalent of US$1.90 or less per day in 2011 purchasing price parity terms.

  • Factories covered in suicide nets to stop workers leaping to their deaths
  • 18 people have killed themselves at the facility
  • iPhone, iPad and MacBook assembled in factory in Shenzhen

45 million died in Mao's Great Leap Forward, Hong Kong historian says in new book​



At least 45 million people died unnecessary deaths during China's Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1962, including 2.5 million tortured or summarily killed, according to a new book by a Hong Kong scholar.

Mao's Great Famine traces the story of how Mao Zedong's drive for absurd targets for farm and industrial production and the reluctance of anyone to challenge him created the conditions for the countryside to be emptied of grain and millions of farmers left to starve. It is due to be published by Bloomsbury tomorrow.

The shortages were exacerbated by Mao's insistence on repaying debts to the Soviet Union and other communist countries - in the form of foodstuffs - years before he needed to and donating them to Third World countries as foreign aid.

Then of course, there were also the "Necessary" deaths too
;)

Thousands wave off Big Lizzie in show of force to China: Britain's £3billion aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth to lead mission to Asia as two of Royal Navy's 'Premier League' warships leave Portsmouth

HMS Queen Elizabeth - nicknamed 'Big Lizzie' - sailed out of Portsmouth Harbour in Hampshire to cheers from the crowds who filled the walls and the beaches. There were few signs of social distancing among those who brandished Union Flags and held banners saying farewell to their loved ones who will be at sea for about seven months. A flotilla of small boats also lined up to view the huge carrier as it sailed off into the Solent. The crew of the 65,000-tonne warship lined the flight deck while a piper played at the top of the 'ski-ramp' at the front of the vessel. Earlier on Saturday, two destroyers, HMS Defender and HMS Diamond, and a frigate, HMS Kent, which also form part of the nine-ship Carrier Strike Group (CSG), also set off from Portsmouth.
