The evidence shows China implementing large-scale rural development and education initiatives. The Spring Bud Project has supported 4.22 million disadvantaged rural girls across all 31 provinces since 1989, raising over US$451 million for schooling, mentoring, and skills training. The Sloping Land Conversion Programme is the world's largest payments-for-ecosystem-services scheme, converting 34.3 million hectares of farmland to forest and grassland while paying 535 billion yuan to over 41 million rural households since 1999, achieving a 17.3% soil erosion reduction in Shaanxi. Additionally, Taobao Villages grew to a peak of 7,780 villages by 2022, creating 8.28 million jobs and generating over RMB 1 trillion in combined sales, though rigorous evaluation found limited average income gains for typical rural producers.
