(A closer look at China) "Tacketing the battle" superimposed on "Blocking battle" Xi Jinping Shanxi inspects "Supervising war" to get rid of poverty
China News Service, Beijing, May 13 (Liang Xiaohui, Huang Yuqin) On the eve of the National Two Conferences, China's top leader Xi Jinping once again left Beijing for an investigation and went to Shanxi to investigate the overall promotion of normal epidemic prevention and control, economic and social development, and consolidation of poverty alleviation.
2020 is the year of China's decisive battle against poverty, and the "defense battle" against poverty has been superimposed with a new "episode battle", which will undoubtedly become an additional test. The outside world noticed that in the survey on the eve of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, poverty alleviation has once again become a key word in Xi Jinping's itinerary. It is observed that this move has released a strong signal that Xi Jinping has re-deployed and "supervised war" at key nodes to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation as scheduled.
Fight epidemics also fight poverty
The occurrence of the new crown epidemic has added difficulty to the task of poverty alleviation, and whether the goal can be achieved as scheduled also once aroused external concern. During this inspection, Xi Jinping clearly emphasized once again that efforts should be made to overcome the adverse impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, ensure the completion of the decisive battle to overcome poverty, and build a well-off society in an all-round way.
Observations believe that China has the ability and conditions to complete the goal of poverty alleviation as scheduled. First, the central government has always insisted on fighting epidemics and fighting poverty, and has not slowed down, nor has it allowed the epidemic situation to dilute the main theme of poverty alleviation.

Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, Xi Jinping has conducted six local inspections, including several key deployments of poverty alleviation. With China's epidemic prevention and control steadily improving, Xi Jinping also attended a decisive battle to overcome poverty in early March, and proposed targeted measures to deal with the impact of the epidemic.
"The central government has been coordinating the two battlefields in consideration, planning and responding in a timely manner to ensure that the goal is not shaken and the rhythm is not changed as scheduled." Zhu Lijia, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that the Shanxi investigation was selected in China's annual political season- -On the eve of the National Two Conferences, the signal of "supervising war" and mobilizing again is obvious.
Second, the rural areas are relatively less affected by the epidemic, and the corresponding poverty alleviation tasks are also relatively less affected. Zhang Xixian, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), believes that the epidemic has a significant impact on urban economy, enterprise development, and industrialization. "The epidemic situation in the vast rural areas of China is relatively less severe. Coupled with the central government's consistent attention and promotion, it still has the ability to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation."
Consolidate existing results
After years of hard work, China has achieved decisive achievements in tackling poverty, and how to consolidate this situation has become a "key among the keys" and has become Xi Jinping's "most concern."
From May 11 to 12, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, State President, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected Shanxi. This was the afternoon of May 11th. Xi Jinping had a cordial conversation with the working villagers at the organic yellow flower standardized planting base in Yunzhou District, Datong City. Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Xueren
During his inspection in Shanxi, he pointed out that after the villagers got rid of poverty, what I am most concerned about is how to consolidate poverty alleviation, prevent return to poverty, and ensure that the villagers continue to increase their income and become rich. He also emphasized that every effort should be made to consolidate the results of poverty alleviation.
Statistics show that the incidence of poverty in China has dropped from 10.2% at the end of 2012 to 0.6% at the end of 2019, reducing poverty by more than 10 million people annually for seven consecutive years. Observation believes that consolidating this achievement will determine the basic effect of China's poverty alleviation.
At the symposium in March, Xi Jinping said that it is very difficult to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation. At the time, he said that in the areas and populations that have been lifted out of poverty, some industries have a relatively weak industrial foundation, some industrial projects are homogenized seriously, some jobs are not stable enough, and some have a high proportion of policy income.
According to the bottom line, there are nearly 2 million people in China who are out of poverty who are at risk of returning to poverty, and nearly 3 million of the marginal population are at risk of causing poverty.
Zhu Lijia believes that as a province with a heavy task of poverty alleviation, Shanxi is a microcosm of the country to a certain extent. Xi Jinping proposes to consolidate the achievements here, which is also based on the local issue of poverty alleviation to the whole party and the country "cannot be relieved." Signal to avoid "one-and-a-half-90".
Docking rural revitalization
Xi Jinping once said that getting rid of poverty is not the end, but the starting point for a new life and new struggle. During his inspection in Shanxi, Xi Jinping once again proposed to promote the organic connection between poverty alleviation and rural rejuvenation. "The next step is to do a good job in revitalizing the countryside to make the lives of the villagers better and better."
The strategy of rural revitalization is one of the important strategies proposed in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It includes the contents of accelerating the pace of agricultural modernization and the development and growth of rural industries, which are closely related to the struggle against poverty. Officials have said that the implementation of the strategy of rural revitalization is an inevitable choice for the common prosperity of all people.
"Poverty alleviation and the integration of rural rejuvenation is actually a long-term problem of consolidating poverty alleviation and preventing return to poverty," said Zhang Xixian, who teaches people to fish more than fishes, so that difficult groups can move from poverty to the beginning of a new life.
At present, the relevant Chinese departments are conducting research on them and expressing the conditions, they can also do it in light of the actual situation and accumulate experience.
Observation believes that the connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization will generally help to stimulate the endogenous impetus for the development of underdeveloped areas and rural low-income populations, as well as to implement precise assistance, thereby promoting the gradual realization of common prosperity.
