Improved facilities for villages
Print Edition
ONE in every four Chinese villages had e-commerce distribution sites by the end of 2016, official data showed yesterday, reflecting an improved logistics network in rural areas.
By the end of last year, 99.7 percent of villages had access to electricity, while 11.9 percent could use natural gas, according to results of China’s third national agriculture census.
A total of 91.3 percent of rural towns had centralized water supply, and 90.8 percent had centralized garbage treatment, while 53.5 percent of villages had finished or partly finished toilet renovation projects.
In terms of public services, a majority of towns had libraries, kindergartens and health care institutions, but relatively few had theaters and sports stadiums.
The agriculture census has been conducted every 10 years since 1996 to collect data on rural production, infrastructure, public services and living conditions.
The third census involved 5 million census takers, more than 200 million rural households and over 3 million businesses and other market entities.
While living standards in cities have drastically improved with China’s economic growth, the living environment for the country’s 600 million rural people still has huge room for change.
