(Interview between the two sessions) Zhang Fengbao, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: "the dual support of Zhizhi" can eliminate poverty from the root

  China News Service, Tianjin, May 20 (Reporter Zhang Daozheng) 2020 is a landmark year, and China will fully build a well-off society and achieve its first 100-year struggle goal. 2020 is also the year of a decisive battle against poverty. How to get rid of poverty fundamentally? Zhang Fengbao, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society, deputy chairman of the Tianjin Municipal Committee, and vice president of Tianjin University, pointed out in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that he must vigorously promote poverty alleviation through education.

  "In my opinion, we should innovate the poverty alleviation mechanism and reduce the number of intermediate links in consumer poverty alleviation and other work. To fundamentally get rid of poverty, we must vigorously promote poverty alleviation through education. Among the people who have not escaped poverty, the causes of poverty are more complicated, and the task of poverty alleviation is arduous. The more critical moments, the more we must maintain our strength, and the implementation of "spiritual and intellectual support" can stimulate vitality to form a joint force, and fundamentally eliminate the soil that breeds poverty.

  Institutional advantages are fundamental to China's struggle against poverty. Zhang Fengbao said: "The intensity, depth and breadth of poverty alleviation in China are far beyond what any international organization, charitable organization and commercial organization can achieve. Over the past 40 years, China has reduced more than 850 million people in poverty and contributed to global poverty reduction. The rate exceeds 70%, which relies on the socialist system's advantages. "

  And this advantage is more reflected in the fight against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic. In 2020, a critical year for China to overcome poverty, the sudden attack of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has brought incalculable losses to China's economy and life. With all our ambitions, we started the people's war, the overall war and the blocking war of epidemic prevention and control, and achieved staged victory.

  "At present, the epidemic situation in various parts of the country has been basically controlled, the growth of imported cases has gradually weakened, and the order of production and living has accelerated to recover." Zhang Fengbao said, for our big country with a population of 1.4 billion, such achievements have not come easily The fundamental reason is that we have the Chinese Communist Party's institutional advantages of centralized and unified leadership and centralized power for major affairs.

  The epidemic is a big test, which depends not only on the hard power of a country, but also on its soft power. In this epidemic, China has won time and set an example for the world to fight the epidemic. Comparing the different practices of China and European and American countries facing the epidemic and the results achieved, Zhang Fengbao pointed out that Chinese people should be proud of China's institutional advantages.

  "As educators, we must transform this war epidemic into a wonderful 'ideological and political lesson', we must explain the advantages of China's anti-epidemic system, gather together a strong combination of ambitions and overcome difficulties, and guide university students to be more determined in China. The road, theory, system and cultural self-confidence of characteristic socialism. "Zhang Fengbao said.

  The convening of the two sessions of the country under this special background is of great significance and attracts worldwide attention. Zhang Fengbao looks forward to the spread of more "good voices for the people" that will help economic recovery this time. He believes that as the epidemic situation improves, people begin to return to their normal lives, but stimulating domestic demand has become a socio-economic issue that needs to be resolved urgently. The government can make policy tilts in taxation, fee reductions, and concessions, and continue to increase the livelihood of pensions and medical care The financial investment of the project will release more dividends.
