Qingchuan is one of Sichuan’s poorest counties. In 2010 the Development Research Center (DRC) of the State Council published a report on Qingchuan’s pre- and post-earthquake economic situation. “Qingchuan County is located in a remote mountain area, with inconvenient transportation, and is economically impoverished and backward.
