They are farmers, some without basic electricity and plumbing. It’s completely third world
It was third world, thanks in part to a century of humiliation by the British empire, but everyone has plumbing, electricity, media, and communication now. There are some farmers using Chinese-made technology that already surpasses our own agricultural technology.
Absolutely not true. I lived among these people not long ago. To say “everyone has electricity” is simply false. That’s not true of any country… sadly.
How long ago was this and where? China made a big push against extreme poverty in the years leading up to 2020 and a central element was making sure people had functional housing and plumbing where in some cases people literally lived in a big cave or in huts in remote villages. While poverty in general persists, conditions that bad were basically eliminated.
Edit: I see elsewhere you said 11 years ago, so yeah, I think it’s perfectly likely you encountered something like that if you say you did, but I expect that if you look into how wherever you were is doing now, you’ll see that it has changed because of the national initiative.
