  Author Huang Yuqin

  Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, State President, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission recently visited Shaanxi for investigation. After a lapse of 5 years, he went to Shaanxi again. The local poverty alleviation situation has once again become one of the focuses of Xi Jinping's investigation.

  In the year of decisive battle to overcome poverty and win a comprehensive well-off society, the sudden new coronary pneumonia epidemic has brought challenges to China's poverty reduction process. From reaffirming that "there are many on the road to Xiaokang," emphasizing that poverty alleviation "can't engage in formalism", and then affirming that e-commerce is "promising" to get rid of poverty and become rich, Xi Jinping passed the series of important statements in the survey to mark the end of the year To win the battle against poverty as scheduled, clarify the main line, draw the red line, and indicate the route.

 Clarify the main line: set goals unchanged

  "I am confident that the poverty alleviation will be fully completed this year." Xi Jinping said in a survey and investigation in Laoxian Town, Pingli County, Shaanxi Province on the 21st. When he left, he once again said to the people who came to say goodbye: "I hope we have a lot of roads to Xiaokang, and we can all get rid of poverty smoothly and ensure a well-off."

  It is observed that in the face of the impact of the epidemic, whether China's poverty alleviation process will change as a result is of great concern. Xi Jinping released confidence and determination to the whole society in his investigation and research, showing that China's set goals remain unchanged and further clarifying the main line of future work.

  When the time entered the year of "dual decision" in 2020, Xi Jinping had issued "mobilization orders" on several occasions, demonstrating his determination to complete the task of poverty alleviation.

  At the beginning of this year, Xi Jinping said in his New Year's message, "Resolutely win the fight against poverty, and achieve all poverty-stricken rural people and poverty-stricken counties under the current standards." On the eve of the Spring Festival, Xi Jinping went to Yunnan to investigate and investigate, stressing, In society, there is no shortage of a nation. ”At the forum on decisive battle to overcome poverty in March, Xi Jinping made it clear that all rural poor people under the current standards will be lifted out of poverty by 2020,“ it must be achieved as scheduled without any retreat and flexibility. ”

  When the "black swan" event was encountered in the year of poverty alleviation, whether to abandon or delay the above-mentioned commitment or to firm up the process of poverty alleviation has become the focus of the outside world. Zhang Xixian, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that the determination released by Xi Jinping in this investigation is more realistic and targeted, and that the established commitments and goals can be clearly defined in time, which is conducive to rallying the joint efforts to win the battle against poverty.

Drawing the red line: against formalism

  "It is necessary to do a good job in employment and not engage in formalism." Xi Jinping pointed out during a survey in Shaanxi. This statement draws a red line again for the poverty alleviation work in the critical period.

  At present, formalism exists in varying degrees in the field of poverty alleviation. The phenomena of "digital poverty alleviation" and "false poverty alleviation" and other phenomena have created resistance to the decisive battle to overcome poverty. In this regard, Xi Jinping has repeatedly pointed out that "we must focus on solving the outstanding problems of the people in the poverty-stricken areas that strongly reflect and harm the interests of the people, and accurately address the problems of formalism and bureaucracy in the fight against poverty." Resolutely oppose formalism and bureaucracy and reduce the burden on the grassroots. "

  Experts believe that the remaining "hard bones" from poverty alleviation are becoming more and more difficult to eat, and the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic is superimposed, making it more difficult for China's economic and social development in all aspects. Therefore, we must resolutely put an end to the formalist approach to poverty alleviation, otherwise it will further aggravate the development risks and also affect the "quality" of poverty alleviation. Drawing a red line in a critical period in time is a direct response to real problems.

  Professor Zhu Lijia, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), pointed out that in recent years, problems such as "false poverty alleviation", "accounting poverty alleviation" and "index poverty alleviation" exposed in the battle against poverty have caused resentment among the public and damaged the credibility of the government. At present, the task of poverty alleviation and the impact of the epidemic have provided soil for breeding formalism, and it is necessary to draw red lines and restricted areas in a timely manner. The more it is at a critical moment, the less it is possible to engage in quick success and short-term gains and false poverty alleviation, and the poverty alleviation work should be pushed forward with higher requirements.

Specify the route: establish a long-term mechanism

  In the old town of Pingli County, Shaanxi Province, Xi Jinping inspected the situation of local communities, health centers, primary schools and tea gardens in poverty alleviation. It is observed that each investigation aims to explore how to establish a long-term mechanism through employment poverty alleviation, health poverty alleviation, education poverty alleviation, and industry poverty alleviation.

  As Xi Jinping said in his inspection of the community, "I am more concerned about whether it will be stable after this year or whether there is a long-term mechanism, depending on whether these basic measures are stable and sustainable."

  In this regard, Dai Yanjun, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that China, as a major developing country, is a long-term task to solve the problems of relative poverty and return to poverty. "Teaching people to fish is worse than teaching people to fish", it is necessary to form long-term institutional mechanisms in terms of policies, funds, technology, etc., and create conditions to enable the people to solve poverty through their own capabilities.

  It is worth noting that when Xi Jinping visited Jinmi Village, Xiaoling Town, Zhashui County, Shaanxi Province on the 20th, he praised the local government for the development of fungus and other industries to achieve poverty alleviation, "small fungus, big industry". He pointed out to villagers who live-sell goods that "e-commerce as an emerging format can not only promote agricultural and sideline products, help the masses get rid of poverty and prosperity, but also promote the revitalization of rural areas, which is very promising."

  The comment here believes that behind this scene called "the strongest lead in history", it is the affirmation of the achievements made by technical poverty alleviation and industrial poverty alleviation, with a long-term perspective, and promoting the formation of long-term new ideas and new measures.

  Zhang Xixian pointed out that the completion of the goal of "poverty alleviation" is only the first step, and the establishment of a long-term mechanism to solve the poverty problem in the final year of poverty alleviation is to further specify the line for the work "after poverty alleviation".
