Changes in most uninhabitable area: understanding China s fight against poverty (Xinhua) 10:28, December 11, 2020 Xihaigu was labeled the most unfit place for human settlement by the United Nations in the 1970s. Xihaigu s triumph over destitution, after reeling under poverty for centuries and carrying the tag of the most uninhabitable area on earth, offers a window into China s achievements in its war against poverty. In Xihaigu, one collective memory is the lack of water. The average water resources per person in Xihaigu is only one 22th of the country s average. The whole area of Xihaigu has bid farewell to extreme poverty, with all the nine counties and districts in the area delisted from the national poverty list. Xihaigu s current population is 2.4 million and all people live in places close to water diversion canals with easy access to water.
