I have been living in China for 34 years and am still living in Guangzhou, China is much more developed than it was even 10 years ago. The urban streets are spotless these days, 10 years ago they were not as clean as it is now. This is the biggest change visible to the eyes, the public cleanliness. Also on the technological side, the changes are also equally visible, 10 years ago, the urban street landscape didn't look as high-tech as they are now. The next visible change is car ownership. Even in the countryside, all the roads have solar-powered lamps nowadays and car ownership in the countryside is astonishingly high, in the front of every home parks a car (few households have home garages though, they just park cars in front of their houses). In the cities, the car ownership is actually lower as parking spaces are tighter. Ths is also one of the biggest changes in comparison to 10 years ago, the high prevalence of car ownership in the countryside. Another change is the metro system in the cities, for example, Guangzhou Metro now has an operating mileage of over 1,000km, can you believe it? 1,000 km-long subway lines in a single city! The new lines are also incredibly fast, like the Line 18 and the Line 22, which are operating at 160km/hour, almost approaching high speed rail standard.
As an individual witness of the Chinese Development Miracle while growing up since the 90s, I think China's transformation was the fastest in the 1990s to 2010s but the last 10 years still brought drastic changes to us, which are still very fast development. In fact, there are visible changes for the better even between now and pre-pandemic 2019, which are quite recent.

Many roads in Taiwan are named after mainland Chinese provinces and cities, such as Sichuan Road, Hebei Road, Hubei Road, Shandong Road, Hunan Road, Fujian Road, Guangdong Road, Guangxi Road.....; Peking Road, Nanking Road, Shanghai Road, Chungking Road, Tientsin Road, Wuhan Road, Hankow Road, Changsha Road.....
These mainland Chinese province and city names are all over the island in terms of the names of bounevards, streets and roads in both urban and rural settings.
