The absolute poverty of the Chinese nation has been eliminated for thousands of years, and brilliant achievements that have attracted the attention of the world have been achieved.

2021: Poverty alleviation shifts to alleviation of relative poverty

　　After continuous struggle, China has completed the task of poverty alleviation in the new era as scheduled. Under the current standards, all rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and all poor counties have removed their hats. Absolute poverty and regional overall poverty have been eliminated. Nearly 100 million poor people have been lifted out of poverty. A major victory that impressed the world.

　　Liu Yongfu, director of the Office of Poverty Alleviation of the State Council, said that China has completed the task on schedule in this eight-year poverty alleviation battle with the goal of building a well-off society in all respects.

By the end of this year, nearly 100 million rural poor people under the current standards have all been lifted out of poverty, and 832 impoverished counties and 128,000 impoverished villages have all been decapitated. The problem of absolute poverty of the Chinese nation for thousands of years is about to be solved historically, and all the people are prospering together. A big step forward on the road.

　　“After the absolute poverty problem in China’s rural areas has been resolved, a good foundation has been laid for the next stage of the rural revitalization strategy.” Wang Sangui, Dean of the China Institute for Poverty Alleviation, Renmin University of China, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency. On the basis of the withdrawal, the absolute poverty population in rural areas has all been lifted out of poverty, and further progress.

　　Wang Sangui said that all poverty-stricken counties and all rural poor people are lifted out of poverty, which means that we have completely eliminated the absolute poverty problem that has plagued China for thousands of years, but we have not yet solved the relative poverty problem.

After the task of poverty alleviation is completed, poverty alleviation will shift from solving absolute poverty to alleviating relative poverty.

Post-epidemic era: how to consolidate the results of poverty alleviation?

　　"Anti-poverty is not over," Lei Ming, dean of the Institute for Development of Poor Areas of Peking University, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency. Anti-poverty in the "post-poverty era" is mainly to narrow the income gap and implement a more effective society for the disadvantaged. Guarantee, a more complete, more comprehensive, and more effective social security network can be used to protect the most vulnerable groups and some of the groups with the lowest income when there is a tendency to return to poverty in a timely manner to avoid absolute poverty. This is the critical task of poverty alleviation. After completion, the main task objective.

The specific solution to this goal and task must be shifted from the current method of "attacking the storm" in the fight against poverty to a more normalized arrangement that integrates into the overall social and economic development strategy and other policy systems and measures.

　　A few days ago, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee held a meeting and pointed out that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation.

It is necessary to maintain the overall stability of the assistance policy, strictly implement the requirements of the "four non-eliminations", and maintain the overall stability of the existing assistance policies, financial support, and assistance forces.

　　Lei Ming proposed to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation and effectively connect with rural revitalization. On the one hand, further consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation and resolutely prevent large-scale poverty return.

Adhere to one "implementation" and one "implementation", implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation; strictly implement the "Four No Picks" ("No Responsibility, No Responsibility" Policy, It is required to take off the hat without taking off the assistance and taking off the hat without taking off the supervision").

To achieve the "two stability", we must maintain the overall stability of the assistance policy; maintain the overall stability of the existing assistance policy, financial support, and assistance forces.

　　Lei Ming said that, on the other hand, to effectively connect with rural revitalization, the assistance policies must maintain overall stability and be adjusted and optimized by classification to allow for the policy transition period.

Continue to develop and expand the poverty alleviation industry, expand sales channels, innovate circulation methods, promote stable sales, and do a good job in stabilizing jobs for people who are out of poverty.

　　Liu Yongfu pointed out that China will set up a transitional period from 2021 to maintain the overall stability of its poverty alleviation policy, and "help the people out of poverty, get a ride."

Establish a dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanism for unstable households and marginal households prone to poverty, and take targeted assistance measures in advance to prevent the return to poverty and the occurrence of new poverty.
