Rongshui County is part of Liuzhou Prefecture and lies to the north of the city. Apart from the county town, it comprises small villages and is very rural. It is a very undeveloped and poor part of China.

Liuzhou Government (i.e. Liuzhou branch of the Chinese Communist Party) have held 'elections' to choose various leaders. Of course, quite who gets to vote and who gets to stand is not mentioned, but you can be sure it ain't

Liuzhou is in Guangxi. Although Guangxi is often referred to as a 'province', technically it isn't. The official name is Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. This is because this is home to China’s largest ethnic minority, the Zhuang people.

Tuesday, 20 March 2007 9:35 P GMT+08
The local authorities have kindly pasted a notice to the wall of my apartment building. This reminds me to follow the one child policy (something I had let slip my mind). It also exhorts me not to be slow in reporting breaches of the policy committed
