A Chinese town transformed by east-west poverty alleviation collaboration

Over three decades, Minning, a town in China's Ningxia, has transformed from an impoverished settlement on the edge of the Gobi Desert into a productive town.
Minning is just one of the many beneficiaries of China's east-west collaboration for poverty alleviation, which pairs developed eastern provinces with less-developed western regions to share resources, expertise and investment.
