you really are ignorant if you think "Hutongs, which are slum like buildings", hutongs are oldest parts of Beijing with traditional architecture, narrow streets, often still missing infrastructure/plumbing, but in no way have anything in common with slum, it's one of the oldest residential areas of Beijing which are being destroyed, while they should be preserved as heritage i guess just because smething it's cramped and small you would say also to residents of Tokyo and Hongkong they are living in slums the poorest people in Beijing definitely don't live in hutongs, which is nowadays quite hipster area to live, because it's extremely central, the poorest people live in basemenets/nuclear shelters where they have one room basically without outside wall (once or twice I went to basement of my 25fl modern building as well to find out we have there these "rat" people) or they live far far away in suburbs basically in villages which may look like slums but calling hutongs slum like buildings shows extreme ignorance, I guess you would then call half of Europan historical capitals with narrow streets also slum like and you can't really compare India and China, it's two different worlds, I was in richest areas of Mumbai and could still easily children sleeping on sidewalk just on cardboard, can't see such thing almost in any Chinese city, China is economically and pretty much in any field miles ahead India which is decades behind
