China has made much headway in improving the local economy and people's wellbeing in Tibet Autonomous Region and its eco-environmental protection over the past decade. All 21 formerly poor border counties in Tibet had shaken off poverty by 2019. The economic growth of border counties in Tibet has been higher than the average level of the whole region over the past 10 years. In 2021, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in 21 border counties in Tibet exceeded 14,000 yuan (about $2,089), maintaining double-digit growth for multiple years.
