Chinese villagers along the China-India border area in Xizang (Tibet) say they are better off than their Indian counterparts. They say it’s an objective fact and a result of China’s poverty eradication programs, and not meant to “lure Indian villagers.” As opposed to some reports from Indian media outlets, the villages also don’t “serve as additional eyes and ears” for China, the Global Times reporters visiting the border villages have found.
