A county of Lüliang, Shanxi, China.
Together with his friend Tang Min, chief economist of the Asian Development Bank, Mao established a micro-credit scheme in Lin County of north China’s Shanxi province eight years ago.
As mines increasingly became privatized, the profits no longer necessarily came to the villages and a major dispute was triggered in Lin County (Shanxi) in 2008 partly because the population felt they had received no benefits from the local mines (Nanfang dushi bao 22 October 2009).
Herkunft
From Mandarin 臨／临 (Lín).
