Alibaba's internet finance arm Ant Financial will earmark 1 billion yuan ($154 million) to support college graduates who want to return to their hometowns to start businesses. E-commerce is developing quickly in rural China with farmers selling products online.
Service stations have been set up in villages to help those who lack the necessary skills to buy and sell online. Villagers can order goods at the stations and return a few days later to collect their packages.
The number of these village hubs has risen from three in 2009 to 780, with plans in place to build another 100,000 village stations and 1,000 county stations by 2019 at a cost of around 10 billion yuan.
