Zhejiang / 浙江

Zhejiang / 浙江 enters the wiki through 150.“中国如何跳出贫困陷阱”,现代化之路又会走向何方 as a coastal case in the episode’s account of Chinese regional development. The source highlights early township-enterprise restructuring, privatization, and private-economy formation as part of a locally specific path into market growth.

In the episode, Zhejiang helps show that China’s modernization was internally uneven. Coastal regions could use dense private networks, local initiative, and earlier marketization differently from inland regions such as Hubei / 湖北, making Development As Variation System / 发展作为变异系统 more useful than a one-model account.
