    Not here to discredit the social improvements in China of the past 50 years, but there are still places in the countryside that are comparable to favelas.

    But they are disappearing, favelas are not.

      You’re absolutely correct.
      I’d also add that while they exist, it is also with fewer food and water poverty/access issues compared to favelas since they’re rural rather than urban spaces.
