With China's challenging demographics and the birth rate shrinking, cities like Baoji will become oases of potential talent that will be necessary for China's continuing development. The regional inequalities reported here continue to put countryside kids at a disadvantage but demographics and the necessary mindset changes to deal with global roasting make this neglect a luxury no nation can afford.

Better to discuss positive developments of China instead venturing to the darkside. We all need positive energy during this time of tribulation.
Yes, concur with Art, sounds a lot like here in the USA.
