Food Delivery Workers in Ganzhou Take On Community Governance Roles
What happened
In Zhanggong District, a food delivery worker named Kang Jiafei is listed among the community representatives in a residential compound in Ganzhou. This practice is part of a system in China where urban neighborhoods are divided into small geographical units known as grids, and designated workers monitor local conditions and coordinate with public departments.
