Xinhua News Agency reporter Hou Xuejing
This is a miracle of human poverty reduction: more than 50 million poor people in rural areas said goodbye to absolute poverty during the period of the 13th Five-Year Plan.
Whether the fight against poverty can be won and whether the poor can be lifted out of poverty on schedule is directly related to the quality and well-being of a well-off society in all respects. China has firmly understood the salient shortcomings of building a moderately prosperous society comprehensively, sounded the wake-up call for a decisive victory over poverty, worked hard to overcome the epidemic and other difficulties, ensured that all populations rural people out of poverty by 2020 and fulfilled our party’s solemn promise to the people and to history.
More than 50 million people say goodbye to absolute poverty
In Daliang Mountain, Sichuan, there is a good harvest of tartar buckwheat everywhere in late summer and fall.
In early August, Shama Zuoye’s new house was built in the Muendi community, a resettlement place for poverty alleviation in Zhaojue county. Factories for clothing, masks and plastic steel were built. Panxi’s largest agricultural industry, Sichuan, is located outside the city. In the industrial park, the special truck for transporting labor to Guangdong transports young people to the distance.
Beijing, at the “United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and China’s Poverty Reduction Experience” webinar in early September, China shared the “Chinese plan” with the world, which became the center attention from all parties.
This year, China will eliminate absolute poverty by current standards and meet the poverty reduction goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ahead of schedule. No country in the world can create this miracle of poverty reduction in such a short period of time.
The number of poor has been significantly reduced
From 2016 to 2019, more than 50 million poor people in rural areas were lifted out of absolute poverty. The incidence of poverty fell from 4.5% in 2016 to 0.6% in 2019, and overall regional poverty has basically been resolved.
The income of the poor has increased substantially.
According to the data on the establishment of the national poor population file, the per capita net income of the national declared poor population increased from 4,124 yuan in 2016 to 9,057 yuan in 2019, an average annual increase of 30%. The quality of the “carefree two” of the poor has been significantly improved and the outstanding “three guarantees” issues have generally been resolved.
The income structure was further optimized and the ability to get rid of poverty steadily improved.
The poor have lifted themselves out of poverty primarily through employment and productive work. The share of earned income has increased year over year, while the share of non-work income has decreased year over year and the sustainability of income growth has steadily improved.
During the period of the “Thirteenth Five Year Plan”, China has promoted poverty alleviation with unprecedented intensity and scale. Every year, we hold seminars to win the battle for poverty alleviation. In response to different problems at different stages, we will implement poverty alleviation goals and tasks. The remarkable results and far-reaching impact are unprecedented and rare in the world, creating a miracle in the history of human poverty reduction.
Make up for deficiencies and development has accelerated significantly
Located deep in the Grand Canyon of the Jinsha River, Abuloha Village, Butuo County, Sichuan Province, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing cliffs on the other, it was once the last organized village in China without road access.
In 2019, construction of the road began in Ablohat Village. Unfolding the map, this 3.8-kilometer highway has witnessed humanity’s determination to overcome poverty-stricken mountains: the world’s largest in-service capacity Mi-26 heavy helicopter was used to lift machinery and equipment, and the average cost per kilometer exceeded 10 million yuan.
By the end of 2019, 100% of qualified organic villages in poor areas had access to hardened roads. In remote mountainous areas to the west, 309 “Zipline to Bridge” projects were implemented to help local people say goodbye to the “Zipline Era.”
By the end of the “XIII Five-Year Plan” period, long-standing unresolved issues such as travel, electricity, schooling, medical consultations, and communication difficulties have generally been resolved in poverty-stricken areas. Compulsory education, basic medical care and home security have been guaranteed. The economic and social development of the region has accelerated significantly.
Transportation – All Qualified Organic Villages have hardened roads, opened main arteries, and unblocked microcirculation;
Medical-telemedicine care covers all impoverished counties and extends to the health centers of the municipalities. Each village has village clinics and doctors, which has achieved the double elimination of “blanks” for staff in two-tier rural institutions;
Housing: Relocating nearly 10 million poor people to alleviate poverty has not only solved the problem of “two no worries and three guarantees” for the poor, it has also fundamentally blocked poverty by relocating the poor, changing their work and eradicate the poor. Intergenerational transmission.
To compensate for development deficiencies, industries in poverty-stricken areas continue to grow, e-commerce poverty alleviation, photovoltaic poverty alleviation, tourism poverty alleviation and other new forms of business are in promotion, the mechanism of promotion of the poor and the poor has been continuously improved, and economic vitality and development potential have been significantly improved.
Mobilize forces from all walks of life to form a great pattern of poverty alleviation
Wang Gang, 27 this year, is a poor household in Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province. Affected by the epidemic, he has not had a stable job, and recently plans to participate in training to become a cyclist to go. Training and passenger recruitment are an important part of Meituan’s “New Starting Point in County” poverty alleviation plan, which will provide 200,000 jobs for poverty-stricken counties across the country starting in June this year.
The platform economy that relies on digital technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and blockchain is injecting new momentum into the fight against poverty. The county chief’s live broadcast room “brings goods”, farmers become “network celebrities”, e-commerce platforms open up the digital supply chain … agricultural product sales in areas affected by poverty continue to rise, the poverty alleviation industry resumed work and production, and poor households are full of enthusiasm through online and offline integration, gathering a strong joint force from all sectors of the society to participate in poverty alleviation.
During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, China’s poverty alleviation pattern of special poverty alleviation, industrial poverty alleviation and social poverty alleviation complementary to each other has gradually taken shape and improved.
The nationwide e-commerce platform went online to solve the problem of “hard sale” of agricultural products in poor areas. The “Poverty Alleviation 832” sales platform, established under the leadership of the Ministry of Finance, the Office of Poverty Alleviation of the State Council and the Federation of China Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, covered 832 poverty-affected counties and nearly 400,000 registered procurement budget units. So far, the transaction volume has exceeded 3.1 billion yuan and more than 68,000 agricultural products have been launched, injecting inexhaustible impetus to the stable income growth of the population of poor areas.
China standardizes and recognizes poverty alleviation products, promotes the integration of poverty alleviation industries into the domestic market, and guides the poor to increase income through job stability. By the end of August, a total of 94,696 poverty alleviation products had been identified across the country. In September, the nation’s first consumer poverty alleviation month was launched with the theme “10,000 participating companies and hundreds of millions of people walking together.”
Without a complete victory, we will never withdraw. This year, the central government implemented a list monitoring campaign in 52 poor hatless counties and 1,113 poor villages. It is really difficult to “monitor”, to focus on the “battle”, and all the places launch a decisive and decisive general attack against the last poor fortress, biting the last hard bones.
To win the battle against poverty as scheduled, the problem of absolute poverty of the Chinese nation for thousands of years will historically be solved in the hands of our generation.
