Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to poverty eradication, mobilized the efforts of the whole Party and the whole society, and pushed forward poverty eradication in depth, making significant and decisive achievements. This major decisive achievement can be reflected in the following figures.

Over the past six years, China's rural poor population has been reduced from 98.99 million at the end of 2012 to 16.6 million at the end of 2018, with a cumulative reduction of 82.39 million people in poverty, and the incidence of poverty has dropped from 10.2 percent to 1.7 percent, a reduction of nearly 9 percentage points. The number of poor villages with established records was reduced from 128,000 to 26,000, and 100,000 poor villages have been lifted out of poverty.

There are already 153 of the country's 832 poor counties that have declared that they have lifted their hats, and another 280 or so are expected to be lifted out of poverty and withdrawn in 2018. It's expected because provinces are now checking and accepting these poor counties that plan to exit in accordance with the central government's requirements, and it will take some time before they can be announced.

It should be said that the Party's achievements in the fight against poverty since the 18th National Congress have been tremendous.2018 is the opening year of the three-year campaign against poverty.Through the ****same efforts of all parties, last year ****reduced the number of people living in poverty by 13.86 million people, and the incidence of poverty also fell by 1.43 percentage points compared with 2017, exceeding the task of reducing poverty by more than 10 million people for six consecutive years.

Second, the pace of poverty alleviation in y impoverished areas has accelerated. Third, the precise poverty alleviation initiatives have been implemented on the ground.
