Clear!

Recently, Guizhou Province announced that the remaining 9 uncovered: Ziyun County, Nayong County, Weining County, Hezhang County, Yanhe County, Rongjiang County, Congjiang County, Qinglong County and Wangmo County are all Get out of the sequence of poverty-stricken counties.

All poverty-stricken counties in Guizhou province have removed their hats, which also means that the country’s 832 poverty-stricken counties identified by the State Council’s Office of Poverty Alleviation have removed their hats. of poverty.objectivesThe task is complete. Many outlets use the popular vocabulary of “cleaning” in 2020 to describe this important historical node.

The trade-off is not conceptually biased, but it is easy to create an illusion. The problem of eradicating poverty appears to have been accomplished. This is obviously a misunderstanding and we must re-identify it.

Liu Yongfu, director of the State Council’s Office of Poverty Alleviation, specifically emphasized this year that China’s poverty alleviation standards are comprehensive standards that include “one income, two carefree, and three guarantees.”

Among them, “one” is income. The national income standard is the constant price in 2010: the annual per capita income of farmers is 2,300 yuan. According to the price index, the current price was 3,218 yuan at the end of last year, and this year it was about 4,000 yuan. “Second” is not worrying about food and clothing, which has been achieved so far.

“Three” means “three guarantees,” which summarizes that compulsory education is guaranteed, basic medical care is guaranteed, and housing security is guaranteed. Currently, all organized villages in China have village clinics and doctors. , which can ensure that poor people have access and access to the doctor, while basic medical careinsurance, Serious illnessinsuranceThe three systems of health care and medical assistance also guarantee basic health care for the poor. The housing security of more than 8 million poor households has also been resolved in recent years.

It can be said that “one, two, three” is the overall goal of China’s poverty alleviation in recent years. The three-year poverty alleviation war is the country’s goal.Absolute povertyThe last time has had an unprecedented total mobilization and investment.

The essence of this is not just to help the poor get rid of poverty, because all three guarantees focus on solving problems in some poor areas.Public serviceThe deficiency problem fundamentally changes the basic environment that “causes poverty.”

For example, poverty due to illness, disease.Return to povertyIt remains one of the major causes of poverty and is also a difficult point in specific poverty alleviation.For seriously ill patients from poor families, useindustryPoverty alleviation measures are no longer effective.societyUnder the security system, look for a solution.

Therefore, the elimination of the hats in the 832 impoverished counties of China is, of course, a great achievement. These impoverished counties are located in 14 contiguous poverty-stricken areas in China.longIt has been a bottleneck in China’s development ever since, even for thousands of years. In the last 40 years of reform and opening-up, the gap between some places and developed areas has become a world away, and they have fallen into a vicious cycle of increasing poverty.

The powerful national poverty alleviation action is to block this cycle and make the lagging regions gradually return to the train of China’s overall development, balance the basic environment, and then resonate and develop in coordination with the national economic development.

In this way, eliminating poor counties from a macro perspective does not mean that there will be no more poor people in the microenvironment. Furthermore, even if the poor by current standards have completed data poverty alleviation, most of them they are still low income.group, Firstly, there is a great chance of going back to poverty, secondly, they still need to help themto get betterCircumstances, get rich together.

In fact, the random inspections of these poor counties that simply took their hats off,CensusAnd the evaluation has been ongoing, and the problems found in it are still being corrected. In the future, it will be normal to review the deficiencies and make up for the omissions. In this regard, Xia Gengsheng, deputy director of the State Council’s Office of Poverty Alleviation, vividly explained this issue. He said that the counties that doffed their hats were all deeply impoverished and relatively weak areas in many respects.

In other words, after winning the battle against poverty, various welfare policies must move from the battle to normalization, according to the principle of making up for what is lacking, paying more attention to categorized policies and making up for deficiencies. The impoverished counties after taking their hats off are expected to keep up with the big team and get rich together.

Eliminating poverty is an eternal challenge for humanity, ChinaRegional developmentThe poverty imbalance will continue to exist, and individual poverty will be caused by all causes and effects, and it is difficult to predict, in that sense, the “elimination of poverty” will always be on the way.
