Quantifiable evidence of how effectively they're lifting people out of poverty. Incredible. Those are not rookie numbers.
Were there really that many Chinese people in such poverty that childhood growth was stunted, in the 1990s?
I believe this is more about reaching the full potential that regular complete nutrition and not living economically precariously enable I think. Pretty sure that's me and my fellow whites are (generally) so much taller than our not so distant ancestors at least.
edit: Also, the uplift of people out of poverty in the 90s was still ongoing, I'm just not confident enough to speak with authority on it. In any case I don't think it would account for the dramatic on-going line go up effect here.
China was still mostly rice farmers in the 1990s.
