Liu Zhizhong knows that there aren't many Minority Autonomous Counties nationwide. Given the country's minority policy, the poverty subsidies for these counties are substantial, including basic living allowances and special hardship funds, which are fully provided each year.
Every year, the various levels of national finance provide Shanan County with poverty subsidies totaling in the billions. Frankly speaking, for such a large country, this amount of money isn't much.
But how much of it actually reaches the pockets of the subsidized population? According to Liu Zhizhong's research, at most fifty percent, and as little as twenty to thirty percent.
How much is withheld by the county or township level? Anyone familiar with the situation should understand.
