Back in 2022, I made a partial list of villages which were being reconstructed and expanded by Chinese authorities. Chinese term for such villages was “Xiaokang (moderately prosperous) village”. In most such cases, old residential houses were being demolished and people were being forced or coerced in to moving in to new settlement close by or in some cases, quite far away from their older homes.
Many of these projects also seemed to be dual-use. I planned to come back to this list and expand it after finishing some other projects. But that never happened. So this post lists all those Tibetan border villages I was able to identify.
