The State Council Information Office published the white paper "Poverty Reduction in China" and held a press conference on April 6. Xu Lin, vice minister of the Central Propaganda Department and director of the Information Office of the State Council, and Tang Renjian, director of the Central Agricultural Office and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, were invited to Wang Zhengpu, deputy director of the Office and director of the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, and Hong Tianyun and Xia Gengsheng, deputy directors of the National Rural Revitalization Bureau, attended the meeting to introduce the white paper and answer questions from reporters.

　　New York Times reporter: Is China's experience realistic for those developing countries, especially countries that are not as strong as China in terms of economic and organizational power?

　　Wang Zhengpu, deputy director of the Central Agricultural Office and director of the National Bureau of Rural Revitalization: There are many effective practices and experiences in China’s poverty alleviation. After the fight against poverty has been launched, there have been many vivid and realistic cases in the practice at the grassroots level. These many vivid cases have made our fight against poverty colorful, diverse and very effective.

Summarizing these experiences, I think there are several things that can be used for reference internationally:

　　First, put the people at the center.

The goal of the Chinese Communist Party is to enable the Chinese people to live a good life and live a good life. This is the purpose and mission of the Chinese Communist Party.

In the process of poverty alleviation, the whole party has made concerted efforts. Under this guiding ideology, all efforts have been concentrated to promote the people to live a good life.

I think this is a very important experience.

　　Second, we must put poverty reduction in a prominent position in governance.

The Communist Party of China has always taken the promotion of common prosperity in China’s society as its goal, and the eradication of poverty as an important task of stabilizing the country and state. It has formulated a series of guidelines and policies, which are reflected in every five-year plan and in the medium and long-term plans.

Deploy as a whole from the national level and use the power of the country to advance. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has placed poverty alleviation in a prominent position of governance, strengthened top-level design, and increased Financial investment, extensive mobilization of all sectors of society, and establishment of an institutional system for poverty alleviation, has provided strong support for the smooth advancement of poverty alleviation.

　　Third, use development methods to eradicate poverty.

There is a saying in the fight against poverty, which is to take the fight against poverty as the greatest opportunity for development. It should be said that development has played a decisive role in poverty eradication, and the problem of our imbalance and insufficiency should be solved through development.

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, China’s economy and society have developed rapidly, the total economic volume has continued to rise, and the overall economic strength has increased significantly. This is obvious to all around the world.

Economic development has formed a powerful driving effect for our poverty reduction, laid a solid foundation for large-scale poverty alleviation and development, and provided a strong guarantee.

　　Fourth, based on reality and China's national conditions, we must comprehensively promote poverty alleviation.

Scientifically formulate poverty reduction standards, goals, and strategies, continue to innovate poverty reduction concepts, methods, and means, step by step, and continue to work hard, dripping through the rocks.

After entering the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed a strategy for precise poverty alleviation. The path of poverty alleviation has changed from flood irrigation to precise drip irrigation. The use of funds has become more concentrated. The poverty alleviation model has also changed from "blood transfusion" to "hematopoiesis", and the evaluation system has also changed from "blood transfusion" to "hematopoiesis". The assessment of the regional GDP is turned into the effect of poverty alleviation.

These methods and experiences are all based on my country's national conditions. This is also a very important experience for other countries in poverty reduction, because every country and every region has different situations, and it must be based on its own reality.

　　Fifth, to give play to the main role of the poor masses is to give play to the subjective initiative of the masses.

Because the masses are the main body in the fight against poverty.

Persist in the combination of poverty alleviation with the help of intelligence and aspirations. We must have both pockets and brains, so that the poor can have ideas for poverty alleviation and have more ways to overcome poverty. Through government education and training, improve methods and establish incentive mechanisms , To guide the poor people to use their own hands to change the appearance of poverty.

　　Sixth, gather all forces to form a strong synergy.

This is also the political advantage, institutional advantage and organizational advantage of the Communist Party of China.

Just now I talked about the cooperation between the east and the west, the fixed-point assistance of the central unit, the help of ten thousand enterprises and the help of ten thousand villages, including various democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and people without party affiliation. It is the common will and action of the whole society to care for the poor, care about poverty reduction, and devote themselves to poverty alleviation.

　　New York Times reporter: I found in previous interviews in Gansu that some families had been identified as poor households in 2015 and 2016. This is no problem for them. However, it seems that some families that suffered from poverty in 2017 are difficult to be considered poor. Recognized as poor households.

In this regard, what measures does the Chinese government have to identify these newly impoverished families and give them appropriate help?

　　Xia Gengsheng, deputy director of the National Bureau of Rural Revitalization: Precision poverty alleviation should be said to be the golden key to winning the fight against poverty, and it is also the most iconic and innovative concept of this round of poverty alleviation.

Poverty identification, filing and registration is the first button for targeted poverty alleviation.

Everyone knows that in poverty alleviation work in poverty-stricken areas, the weak link is poverty identification. This is a dynamic process. There is a process from initiating identification to relatively accurate, and then to quite accurate.

In 2014, the establishment of files and card registration work was started. 29.48 million poor households and 89.62 million poor people were identified across the country. For the first time, they found out the basic situation of the distribution of the poor in my country, the causes of poverty, and the needs for poverty alleviation.

From August 2015 to June 2016, it took almost a year to look back. The poor households that did not meet the conditions were cleared out, and those that met the conditions but were not included in the original were included.

Since 2017, dynamic adjustments will be made every year, and through this process, we will continue to make precision more precise.

　　From the perspective of this process, China's identification of poor households is dynamic, rather than a lifetime of identification.

Of course, whether it is during the period of poverty alleviation or the transition period of consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation, how to find these objects is very important.

We discovered through three aspects: First, declare by yourself. Whoever hurts or itches himself, knows what difficulties and shortcomings are, knows the best, and can declare by himself.

The second is to help the masses through grassroots cadres to reflect that they have lived among the poor for a long time and are familiar with the masses.

The third is the comparison of industry sectors.

Through big data, for example, your medical expenditures cause a sudden increase in expenditure, or your lack of participation in the industry or employment, leading to a sudden decrease in your income. We all declare through this method, timely detection, timely intervention, and timely assistance.

Another point is that we have also set up a 12317 monitoring and reporting hotline. Individuals who do not enjoy the corresponding policies for those who meet the conditions can call, so that we can carefully check and urge the solution.
