\nAs President Xi Jinping announced last month on Feb 25 that the country had achieved a \u201ccomplete victory\u201d in its fight against poverty, with the final 98.99 million impoverished rural residents living under the current poverty line all lifted out of poverty, and all its 832 poverty-stricken counties and 128,000 poor villages removed from the poverty list.
\nChina has eradicated regional poverty and accomplished the arduous task of eliminating absolute poverty, creating another \u201cmiracle\u201d that will \u201cgo down in history,\u201d Xi said at a gathering held in Beijing to mark the country\u2019s accomplishments in poverty alleviation and honor its model poverty fighters.
\nThe remarkable achievements of China in reducing poverty marked a new chapter in the history of mankind\u2019s fight against poverty and opened up new horizon for the development of human society.
\nChina\u2019s poverty alleviation campaign is an important force driving the global poverty reduction process, and the Chinese history is indeed a history of how the Chinese nation has fought against poverty.
\nUnder current standards, China has freed 770 million impoverished rural residents from poverty since it started implementing the reform and opening-up policy in 1978.
\nAccording to the World Bank\u2019s international poverty line, the county is responsible for over 70 percent of the global reduction in poverty since late 1970s.
\nWhen poverty alleviation remains a daunting challenge across the world and the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen in some countries, China has met the poverty eradication target set in the United Nations\u2019 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule, winning widespread praise from the international community.
\nIt is globally recognized that China\u2019s performance over the last four decades in raising hundreds of millions people out of poverty is \u201can unparalleled success\u201d, said Guy Ryder, Director-General of the International Labour Organization.
\nChina\u2019s experience in reducing poverty has served as a useful reference for the efforts of various countries to realize their poverty reduction goals.
\nBased on its national conditions and following the law of poverty reduction, China adopted a series of unconventional policies and measures and established a whole set of policy, work and institutional systems, blazing a poverty reduction path and forming anti-poverty theories with Chinese characteristics.
\nThe poverty reduction process in China has fully demonstrated the original aspiration and mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to put people first and always work for the well-being of the Chinese people, the Party\u2019s successful practices in blazing a poverty reduction path with Chinese characteristics based on the country\u2019s national conditions, as well as the sense of responsibility of the Party to contribute more to humanity and build a better world.
\nChina\u2019s successful experience in fighting poverty is valuable, and its practices should be brought to Laos, said Bounnhang Vorachith, General Secretary of the Lao People\u2019s Revolutionary Party (LPRP) Central Committee and President of Laos, after seeing with his own eyes how China was reducing poverty during his field visits to once-impoverished villages in central China\u2019s Hunan province and east China\u2019s Fujian province.
\nWhile fighting poverty at home, China has injected confidence and strength into the poverty alleviation cause of the entire humanity.
\nThe country has been an important promoter of global poverty reduction undertakings. It has actively carried out global cooperation on poverty reduction to perform international responsibilities for poverty alleviation and try its best to help other developing countries fight poverty.
\nChina has helped reduce poverty and improve people\u2019s livelihood in other developing countries by aiding them in constructing rural public welfare facilities, sharing experiences of agriculture management, and promoting technology transfer.
\nIt has offered help to more than 120 developing countries in the implementation of the United Nations (UN) Millennium Development Goals.
\nAccording to a research report of the World Bank, the China-proposed Belt and Belt Initiative could help lift 7.6 million people in participating countries out of extreme poverty and 32 million people in relevant countries out of moderate poverty if the initiative should be implemented fully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
