China's answer to the world's difficult problem of precise poverty alleviation

Declaring war on poverty is a great historic creation carried out by the Chinese Communist Party in uniting and leading the Chinese people, and a great historic practice for the Chinese nation to solve global problems on the road to rejuvenation. In contemporary times, China has achieved rapid development and large-scale poverty reduction, and the poor share the fruits of reform and development. This is a great miracle on earth.

Targeted poverty alleviation is not an illusory slogan, but a real action. It is necessary to enhance the people's sense of gain and let the poor people feel great benefits. Enhancing people's sense of access is the fundamental purpose of precision poverty alleviation. On the one hand, the bullseye alignment problem. Deeply grasp what the poor people need most and what they care about most. Starting from the most direct and realistic interests of the poor people, we should find the "bull's eye" and focus on solving the problems of the poor people, such as "not having enough to eat", "not wearing warm clothes" and "not living well", so as to make the poor people have income, education, medical treatment, housing and security, and strive to eliminate the pain points and difficulties that plague their lives. On the other hand, the work is carried out in detail, and through the "five batches" and "six precise" poverty alleviation methods, the division of labor is clear, the powers are clear, and the tasks are assigned to the people. Targeted poverty alleviation work has been implemented in various aspects such as clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the people have truly realized that life is richer, transportation is more convenient, medical care is safer, housing is more secure, and the ecology is better. This requires long-term determination and tenacity, and it also needs to adapt measures to local conditions to continuously improve the people's sense of gain.

The fundamental value of targeted poverty alleviation lies in the sharing of development results. Shared development focuses on solving the problem of fairness and justice in social development, which reflects the requirement of gradually realizing common prosperity. The important prerequisite for achieving common prosperity is targeted poverty alleviation, which is a reflection of the essential requirements of socialism and fully reflects the people's character. Only by doing a good job in promoting social fairness and justice and dividing the ever-bigger "cake", can the superiority of the socialist system be more fully reflected. In order to make the concept of shared development penetrate into the actual work of targeted poverty alleviation, it is necessary to fully implement the poverty alleviation mechanism of co construction and sharing, and effectively promote social fairness and justice. Coordinate the multi-subject interest mechanism. We will build the equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas, promote the professionalization of governance in poor and backward areas, increase support for people in ethnic minority areas, old revolutionary base areas and border areas, and realize the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and the simultaneous progress of regions. Create a fair and just development environment. The establishment of files for the poor, the collection and distribution of special funds for poverty alleviation, and the operation and management of poverty alleviation projects strictly follow the principles of fairness and justice, and strive to make fairness and justice warm the hearts of the people. All members of society participate in the process of targeted poverty alleviation with a positive and high-spirited attitude to ensure that all the people, including the poor, benefit, and form a new pattern of joint construction, sharing and development for all.

The key to targeted poverty alleviation is to let the people live a good life and ensure that everyone is not left behind on the road to building a well-off society. To help the poor, we should let the poor people dilute their awareness of poverty, face material poverty with a positive and healthy attitude, and avoid entering the dilemma of "ideological poverty" and "spiritual poverty. We must eradicate the bad thinking of some poor people and encourage them to create a better life with their own hands. Poverty alleviation also needs to help the intelligence, improve the education level of poor areas, and improve the scientific and cultural quality of the poor people. It is necessary to give full play to the main role of the poor masses, cultivate their skills, and find the value of their own existence and development. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, at the end of 2019, the country's rural poor population 5.51 million, down 11.09 million from the end of the previous year. The number of people living in poverty across the country has been greatly reduced, and the quality of life of the people has gradually improved. All this has benefited from the surging and changing attitude of China and a strong ruling party. Only by combining poverty alleviation with support for the will and wisdom can we achieve "poverty alleviation" and "real poverty alleviation" in thought and action, and completely change the face of poverty.
