Think about China is poor? Yes, but in some regions only. In the cities, it’s now in between of developing & developed country.
After joined the WTO, a lot of the international investments flow into China where tremendously push the economic development letting part of the cities meet the GDP at USD5000 or above from the year 2002. And Shen Zhen city (the city next to Hong Kong) is one of the place highly benefit from the accelerating of China’s globalization.

Shen Zhen city started to build since 1980. And now, it’s as prosperity as Los Angel or Hong Kong. Because the government have changed the country to be the biggest capitalism in the world welcoming any investment. So, the new China is like a big landlord renting the place for any investment to operate within China. The regulation or law can even change fast to fit for the new development of the city. For the citizen, there are almost no body cares any about the freedom or democracy, money mean everything in the new China. See from my youtube video showing the living style in Shen Zhen city:
