Gangca

The reports of the past few days have been made by the nine of us from around Gangcha county and Qilian county, because we wanted to really understand the avian influenza situation in Qinghai. We came disguised as tourists to carry out on-the-spot interviews ... only by coming to this place can you realise just how poor China can be. Anyone with a conscience would shed tears.

GANGCA, China[…] But in places like this small, dusty town, located high on the Tibetan plateau in the western Chinese province of Qinghai, the most widespread problem is the dislocation of nomadic communities that comes with rapidly enforced top-down development.[…] On a visit to Gangca earlier this month, I saw a large new hospital and well-maintained sports fields at the school. Housing developments painted a cheery canary yellow dotted the slopes behind the main street.
