The urban and rural dibao cash transfer programmes have been rolled out nationally, although the minimum living standards differ widely from province to province, and between rural and urban areas, reflecting local development conditions and local government fiscal capacity. Nationally, the rural dibao line is equivalent to 37 per cent of rural consumption expenditure, while the urban dibao line is 25 per cent of urban consumption expenditure. All provinces have set urban dibao lines while 9 provinces set rural dibao lines higher than the new national poverty line of RMB 2,300 (at 2010 prices) per person per year. Rural dibao lines of provinces in eastern China are generally higher than in provinces in other parts of the country.
