*1.2.1 China*

China government demanded that it was necessary to gradually change "the disparity between industry and agriculture, between urban and rural areas, between regions," "unifying urban socio-economic development planning, building modern agriculture, developing rural economy, increasing income for farmers" [4].

Up to now, China has achieved many great achievements such as: agriculture fields and rural areas have developed strongly. China's agriculture has formed many high-value agricultural products such as: food, livestock, natural rubber, and fruits. Many agricultural products are cultivated on a large area with high output and high economic efficiency. The number of large enterprises operating in the agricultural sector as well as the number of cooperatives and associations constantly increased. As a result, the rural agricultural economy has developed rapidly, the average income of farmers has increased significantly. The infrastructure of rural areas has been significantly improved. Building a cultural life in rural areas has achieved many important achievements.

#### *1.2.2 Japan*

The agricultural economy is prioritized for development by the Japanese Government. Therefore, at each stage, Japan applied a different plan and "agricultural extension policy" such as: "Socio-economic development plan," "Building rural area as an attracting and comfortable living space," "one village one product" in order to carry out the construction of new rural areas, create a foundation for agricultural economic development with the solidarity of people [5].

Japan developed agricultural economy from the first small-scale villages from 900 to 1000 farming households, then replicated the model to 4548 villages. Japan government has applied a financial support policy to build new rural areas in addition to local revenue and the loans from agricultural credit funds.

The Japanese government has launched the movement as "One Village One Product (OVOP)." OVOP is a movement with three main principles: (i) localization and then globalization; (ii) autonomy, independence, and creation; (iii) human resource development. The government is in charge to do the basic construction items of the rural areas, improve the environment, bring water, electricity, road construction, information (telephone) to the people. The primary education was completely free, rural and urban areas supported each other for sustainable development.
