    SCY - China in Transition Final
    China in transition

    A young woman waits for the bus at an intersection on the main road in Dongling, Anhui Province, People's Republic of China on Oct. 30, 2012. Like most other parts of rural China, Dongling village is almost bereft of young people who leave to become migrant workers in the cities and towns, leaving the old and very young behind. Anhui Province is amongst the largest exporter of migrant labor in China. Li Keqiang, the Chinese premier-to-be was sent to Dongling in the 1970s to be rusticated.

    Afghanistan, Inch'Allah?
    The Afghan police are often corrupt and, with limited resources to fight the Taliban, have lost many lives. The police station at the entrance to Kandahar is strategically positioned, but is neither impressive nor a deterrent.
