    That may be true, but consider it a research project. I look on new information I don’t fully grasp as an opportunity. It’s an update that doesn’t contain the full structure of the antipoverty programs.

    To say that they are “modeled after China’s” is a bowlderization in my opinion, as even within China approaches differ by region, but there is not a better comparison.

    It’s a multifaceted approach: programs for free rural healthcare are implemented before developed urban areas, elecrification, roads and other infrastructure, positive ecological and farming practices have to be supported and funded, financing for farmers is quite possibly the origin of the financial system (historically I mean) and it is of paramount importance to protecting a nation’s agricultural security. Effective trade practices on a national level are required to shield farmers from international pressures and export shit at high prices. It’s a prioritization of agriculture as a matter of national security. It can’t just be treated like any other industry, and it can’t be managed like a serfdom! In many respects this is like how military industry must be treated to maintain security.

    Vietnamese farmland is still in a long process of decontamination from the defoliants dropped by the USA, there is an additional healthcare burden relared to that. That’s a very upsetting subject.
