🚜 Did you know that the future of China’s economy might depend on the children in its rural villages?

Scott Rozelle, a Stanford economist, has spent over 40 years studying the hidden side of China’s rapid growth. While cities like Beijing and Shanghai get all the attention, it’s the rural areas—where 40% of China’s population still lives—that could largely shape the country’s future. 🌾

In our latest podcast episode, Scott shares eye-opening insights about the challenges rural China faces today—like the education gap, the migration of young people to cities, and the potential of a massive economic slowdown if these issues aren’t addressed. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

🎧 Want to understand the real story behind China’s economic rise and what it means for the world? Don’t miss this episode.
