Malipo, China – the rural villages in Malipo are a world far from shiny Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, which have been reached through narrow roads that sometimes hire a dangerous way of deep valleys. School students eat simple breakfast meals during squatting on the sidewalks, and even a local official who complained that remote mountain villages lack the latest 5G internet connection.
But Chinese officials refer to the general progress in this thick -western border border region in southwestern China as a reason for their “confidence” in the country’s development model, and its ability to overcome any trade war with the United States.
“We have complete confidence and the ability to overcome all difficulties,” Foreign Minister Hua Chuning said last week during a government sponsored to Malibu County in Yunnan Province.
“As for what the United States is doing, we do not really want any kind of war, but if we have to face reality, we will not be afraid at all.” “Ordinary people already feel suffering from the war of tariffs, so I really hope [U.S.] The administration will return to normal. “

But Beijing’s declared confidence ignores the real anxiety about the work that still has to be done, as well as the potential impact of the American definitions, as China is struggling with structural imbalances and slow economic growth.
The situation extends the gap in urban areas in urban areas, and it is clear to the residents of Malipo.

Miter told NBC News that programs like those in Malipo are “an increasingly important part of China’s messages, and they have development solutions for rural and urban areas.”
He said: “This is possible that this is especially attractive in many global southern countries that still have large agricultural sectors and may look forward to Chinese examples to find ways to modernize their rural region.”
Jasson Choi, director of His Highness Group, a group based in Hong Kong, said companies that invest in Malibu are still driven by “the invisible hand of the market forces.”
He said that improving infrastructure and government support were important factors in his family’s investment company’s decision about $ 7 million in the modern tea factory in Malibu, as well as the capabilities of the brand associated with old tea trees in Malipo.
“We have created direct job opportunities for more than a hundred people, and about 10,000 people in the direction of the river,” said Choi, 25.
