They give priority to man over the machine and national Prioritize self-interest over self-interest Provinces do not depend on the center for economic development .
The whole country is divided into many communes. Each agricultural commune is self-sufficient. Thus all provinces are self-sufficient in terms of resources. Cities and villages of China are equally on the path of development.
People living in villages either work in fields or are employed in small local industries. People living in villages do not move to cities.

They work eight hours a day. They are paid enough to meet their basic needs. Houses are provided at agricultural communes and accommodation is free for them.
Free medical facilities are available to laborers and cultivators, but their families have to pay half of the costs. If a worker falls ill, he is paid full salary for six months, after which he is paid only 60% of the salary. If a worker becomes disabled or unable to meet his or her needs, the company directly supports him or her.
In China, men retire at the age of 60 and women at the age of 50. After retirement, they are also given a pension. Every factory has a cafeteria where workers are given three meals a day.
