Answer to Question 1

China does have two very wealthy areasthe small Special Administrative Regions (SARs) of Macau and Hong Kong on its southern coast. Most of China's economic activity and growth is in the east its 11 coastal provinces account for 50 percent of the country's GDP.
Chinese authorities believe that urbanization is the ticket to greater prosperity for China's huge, poor, rural population. But they do not want the magnet cities of the east to absorb all of these people, many of whom would end up unemployed and living in slums. The strategy is therefore that the larger cities of the interior, such as Chongqing, should absorb much of the migrant traffic that has been flowing farther east and south. Already home to 8 million people, Chongqing (the wealthiest interior city in China) is poised to grow much more through its one-hour economy circle plan.. In this plan, 4 million rural residents will move into newly urbanized urban areas within an hour's drive of the city center. China hopes that millions of new jobs will be created in the long-neglected urban centers of the interior.
