I would simply just suggest you to go check out rural China. Around 30 percent of China's population still live in rural areas and IMO compared to more developed countries, the countryside and rural areas are significantly lacking in development. "城中村" still exists, although more and more are being demolished. Wage is very low relative to the hours worked(Even in PPP per capita it lacks behind traditionally developed countries). There are of course sides where China does much better than most other countries but IMO China is still developing until they can improve the lower bound of QoL to be on par with western nations.

Some nice screen captures for the 75th anniversary of the founding of PLAAF Airborne Corps.

I don't recall seeing this helmet-mounted display before. It was seen at the Changchun Air Show. Does anyone have more images to help fill in the context? The 'pilot' is helping put up scale models of AAMs for display. I wonder if he's a real pilot or merely a member of the ground crew cosplaying a pilot, which would make the helmet a prop.

He seems to be a civilian collector of military equipment
