#China accounts for 15% of the world's #DisabledPeople, with the population of this special group reaching 85 million. A #BarrierFree environment allows them to live a normal life & integrate into society better.

In recent years, authorities across the country have reached out to disabled households with tailored solutions, making public infrastructure & their apartments more #accessible.
