Question : Adhering to "dynamic clearing" is an important guarantee for people who have been lifted out of poverty and will not return to poverty

  Recently, some overseas media said that China's anti-epidemic policy has put the people out of poverty at risk of returning to poverty, which may lead to China's poverty alleviation efforts in vain.

This statement shows that they do not understand the precise poverty alleviation strategy behind China's great victory in poverty alleviation, nor do they understand the current policies to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation.

Adhering to the "dynamic clearing" of the anti-epidemic is a pragmatic move to keep the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to poverty.

  To prevent the return of poverty, the central government has already made arrangements.

During the period of poverty alleviation, it is clear that a transition period of 5 years will be established from the date of poverty alleviation for counties that have been lifted out of poverty.

During the transition period, "no responsibility, no policy, no assistance, no supervision", continue to select the first secretary and work team stationed in the village, and maintain the overall stability of the policy.

  In addition, as early as March 2020, at the beginning of the epidemic, the central government established a monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent returning to poverty, mainly monitoring households that have been lifted out of poverty but are unstable.

For the assistance objects included in the monitoring scope, comprehensive social security measures such as industrial assistance, employment assistance, and strengthening of minimum living allowances will be adopted.

This mechanism changes post-event assistance to a combination of pre-prevention and post-event assistance, so that risks can be identified in a timely manner and assistance can be implemented in a timely manner.

With the frequent occurrence of local epidemics in the country recently, the central government has maintained its strategic focus and insisted on promoting the deployment of prevention and return to poverty, realizing the dynamic clearing of the poor population, and continuing to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation.

  "Dynamic clearing" is a valuable experience for China to win the battle against poverty with high quality, and it is also a "magic weapon" for winning on the battlefield against the epidemic.

The central government's early deployment of the monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent return to poverty reflects the central government's deep understanding of the dynamic process of poverty alleviation and return to poverty, provides important institutional guarantees for poverty-stricken areas to respond to emergencies such as epidemics and disasters, and effectively prevents return to poverty and new diseases. occurrence of poverty.

This year's Central No. 1 document further made specific arrangements such as improving the monitoring and assistance mechanism, promoting the continuous increase in the income of the poverty-stricken population, and promoting the implementation of the assistance policy in the poverty-stricken areas to be effective, providing strong support for maintaining the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to poverty.

  Without national health, there will be no comprehensive well-off.

Returning to poverty due to illness is one of the biggest risk points for people who have been lifted out of poverty.

Under the influence of the epidemic, poverty-stricken areas and people who have been lifted out of poverty are the weak points in the fight against the epidemic. Therefore, adhering to the epidemic prevention policy of "dynamic clearing" is an important guarantee for the poverty-stricken population and other groups with weaker anti-risk ability to get out of poverty without returning to poverty.
