You missed Beijing links in your 1st tier. or are you just showing examples?

 

[Kai Liu]

You missed Beijing links in your 1st tier. or are you just showing examples?

For the other cities, I just show the examples here because there are too many cities. But for the 1st tier cities, I really want to show all 4 of them. But I didn't find good panorama view of Beijing from this website. May be I can find it from other sites later, or you guys can add them.

Very cool. Thanks for upload

 

[xiao qi]

impressive, when I realize my capital even cannot get into 6th tier

What the hell, hundreds of cities
Must be really difficult to manage

We started from literary nothing and advanced to this stage after 40 years of development, and still need a lot of improvement especially in the countryside to become developed. Vietnamese people are very hardworking and intelligent. Vietnam will become developed, just needs some time.

Sure yes. That is why we need a strong government to govern such a huge country.

True, If my incompetent government were to manage hundreds of cities it will all crumble to rubble on its own

More ordinary Chinese villages and towns, some are richer, some are poorer, some are newer, and some are older. These villages are becoming really empty, no much activity going on during most time of the year:

French guy explore Chaling county in Hunan province (one of the state listed poverty stricken counties).

He again in a small town in Hunan province:

So many so-called low-tier places that, actually, with enough publicity, would easily become major attractions.

I think now with better media coverage and transportation, we begin to find out some of those places that the government has been working to lift from poverty.

It is indeed a very low-key, silent government delivering impressive results.

Still not finished, lots of work to do on the ground. But thesis public administration, can't be done in ivory tower. Hands and feet got to get dirty.

Yes. The government is very efficient. Every 3~5 years, fundamental changes take place. Nowadays, the conditions in the countryside are much better than even 5 years ago, although still long way to go as compared to the development of the cities or to reach the level of the developed world.
Unfortunately a lot of people choose to believe those white trash who claim to know about China, and give BS like "the majority of people in China are living in middle age slums and villages.".. by showing some of their intentionally found backward areas or those remote rural areas where only old folks are living in because they are used to such lifestyle (the government are doing the relocation of these areas right now), or 10+ year old pictures and videos.. and give some people a good climax and comfort..
I think the language barrier doesn't give us trouble in economic development as the western media predict, but it really put us in a disadvantageous position when it comes to influence of the media on public opinion. This is why those white trash are so popular..

The best answer is what our hands create. The material reality is the basis of ideas. Hence, the lies and propaganda by the Western media machine will not stick as a discourse or strong narrative because they are not supported by ground reality.

People can be duped, but, does it really matter if, say, Indians buy the Western media narrative? Or the Western media audience buy it? It is really not important. In fact, keeping them at an arms distance at this point is better. Them being kept ignorant is better.

We should not rush to arbitrarily change the public opinion, but, let the material reality change it in its own pace. Like any good Marxist, I have faith in ideas generated by material reality. So, all we need to do is to work harder, be the best in our fields and make Greater China a better, stronger, more beautiful place each passing day.

At this moment, language barrier is good. We do not need too much distraction. Let the Western monologue drown in its own false narrative, poisoning its own people into false consciousness.

There are a lot more Chinese city panoramas. Please see this thread by GS Zhou who introduced 720yun.com to this forum: https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/how-chinas-tier-5-or-tier-6-cities-look-like.516644/
