Tibet
https://liberationschool.org/08-04-01-china-tibet-ussponsored-coun-html/
The Chinese government exempts Tibet from all taxation and provides most of its infrastructure.
By 2020 the Chinese government plans on improving rural Tibetan quality of life to the national standard and providing free education for all rural Tibetan children. (Since 2001 CNY310,000,000,000 has been invested in Tibet by the Chinese government.)
Tibet's GDP is growing astronomically as is its HDI. In 1994 the GDP of Tibet was a meager 5 billion yuan. In 2006, it was 29 billion. The GDP is only rising and this must be attributed to the efforts of the Chinese government to encourage industrial development and the rapid modernization of existing Tibetan industry.
In 2018, the GDP in the Tibetan Autonomous Region rose to above 140 billion yuan according to estimates from the regional government that were given to the Chinese government during the 11th People's Congress of the Tibetan Autonomous Region.
"It is the 26th straight year that Tibet has recorded double-digit GDP growth. The region reported 10-percent GDP growth in 2017." (source)

China the most trustworthy friend of Serbia: Serbian president
In a keynote speech at the concert, Vucic congratulated on PRC's founding anniversary and hailed China's development achievements, highlighting the tremendous benefits Serbia harvested by joining the Belt and Road Initiative.
Recalling Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit in 2016, Vucic said that the trip has created a foundation for the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Serbia and China, which significantly helped solve Serbia's economic hardship.
"We are in the process of negotiation and we are expecting the arrival of many more Chinese companies in Serbia in different fields, from energy, industry, contemporary innovative technologies and artificial intelligence," he said.
Vucic also praised the increasing arrivals of Chinese tourists in Serbia and joint police patrols that have been recently introduced in Belgrade.
In a statement for Xinhua earlier, Vucic said that China's impressive achievements represent a great wonder, believing that China's leadership will continue to lead China into an "extraordinary future."
He said Serbia is part of the BRI, adding that "we have been profiting a lot from that initiative, especially when it comes to some key economic projects that we implement with China, and based on which we are conceiving our own future."

China the most trustworthy friend of Serbia: Serbian president
BELGRADE, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic hailed China as the most honest and trustworthy friend of his country at a concert marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in Belgrade on Saturday.
"We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible. It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa," he said.

More than 500 million users of Alipay’s mini-program, “Ant Forest,” that lives within the app are rewarded for making small, environmentally friendly decisions in their daily lives through “green energy” points, and those points can be redeemed to plant trees in areas of the country in need of vegetation. So far, 100 million real trees, covering a total area of 933 square kilometers, have been planted — roughly the size of 130,000 soccer fields.
