Nearly one-third of children living in China’s poorest areas suffer from malnutrition, the government said Saturday, underscoring the country’s growing economic divide.
Citing a report from the Beijing-based Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety, the official Xinhua News Agency said 29 percent of children younger than 5 and living in poverty-stricken regions of southwestern China’s Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and in Qinghai in the northwest, were malnourished.
