an article in the economist magazine is called "how the other 800m live"... this article deals with the problem in rural areas (in china)... but i don't understand why it is called 800m......
quote, "some 800m people still live in the countryside, so the new spending amounts to less than an aditional $7 a year each".

800m means a long distance for the rural areas's economy to catch up with urban area???? or .. sth else..????
