Xi Jinping on Poverty Alleviation (2020)

Under the guidance of the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, we should fully implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and the second, third and fourth Plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, consistently and unswervingly administer the party strictly in an all-round way, adhere to and improve the party and the state supervision system, strengthen the restriction and supervision of the operation of power, and ensure the implementation of the party's line, principles and policies.

-Speech by Xi Jinping at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 13, 2020

 

It is necessary to promote the implementation of major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee to achieve results. This year, we must especially focus on the task of decisively building a well-off society in an all-round way and fighting poverty. Strengthen supervision, and promote party organizations at all levels to fight hard and do good.

-Speech by Xi Jinping at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 13, 2020

 

We must adhere to the people-centered work orientation, use a fine style to decisively build a well-off society in an all-round way, and fight against poverty. Through a clear system orientation, the hands and feet of cadres and entrepreneurs should be freed from the shackles and "routines" of formalism and bureaucracy, so as to form a new trend of seeking truth, pragmatism, integrity and integrity. It is necessary to train and temper cadres in the front line of major work and major struggles, so that good cadres can thrive and stand out. It is necessary to focus on solving the outstanding problems that the masses in poverty-stricken areas have strongly reflected and harm the interests of the masses, accurately tackle the problems of formalism and bureaucracy in the fight against poverty, and strengthen the supervision of the performance of poverty alleviation work, especially the situation of poverty-stricken counties. It is necessary to thoroughly rectify the "micro-corruption" in the field of people's livelihood, indulge the "protective umbrella" that shields the evil forces, and the "stumbling block" that hinders the implementation of the policy of benefiting the people, so as to promote the comprehensive and excellent grassroots party organizations.

-Speech by Xi Jinping at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 13, 2020

 

The central committees of the democratic parties have carried out in-depth democratic supervision of poverty alleviation, increased fixed-point monitoring and village investigations, and played an important role in winning the fight against poverty. All levels of industry and commerce federations continue to carry out "glorious action" activities, and actively participate in the "ten thousand enterprises help ten thousand villages" targeted poverty alleviation action.

-Xi Jinping's speech on January 14, 2020 when welcoming the Spring Festival with non-party personages

 

2020 is the year of decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and fighting a decisive battle against poverty. It is also the year of the "13th Five-Year Plan. I hope that everyone will fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second, Third, and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 19th Central Committee, closely follow the goals and tasks of building a well-off society in an all-round way, adhere to the general tone of the work of seeking progress while maintaining stability, comprehensively implement the new development concept, and comprehensively do a good job. Growth, promote reform, adjust structure, benefit people's livelihood, prevent risks, prevent risks, and maintain stability, and make new contributions to make new contributions.

-Xi Jinping's speech on January 14, 2020 when welcoming the Spring Festival with non-party personages

 

To win a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and fighting a decisive battle against poverty, it is necessary to gather the wisdom and strength of all the Chinese people, including the democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and people without party affiliation.

-Xi Jinping's speech on January 14, 2020 when welcoming the Spring Festival with non-party personages

 

The villagers out of poverty is only the first step towards a happy life, and the starting point of a new life and new struggle. On the basis of building a well-off society in an all-round way, we must vigorously promote rural revitalization and make happy Wa villages happier.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping during his investigation in Yunnan from January 19 to 21, 2020

 

It is necessary to fight a decisive battle against poverty, focus on the deep poverty-stricken areas, focus on the counties and villages where the work is difficult, and in accordance with the "five batches" method, strengthen the implementation of classified policies, list the supervision of the war, and strive to conquer the last fortress. We will firmly grasp the basic standards of "two no worries and three guarantees" and strictly accept them. It is important to prevent a return to poverty due to inadequate follow-up policy support or a return to poverty due to causes of injury. We should attach equal importance to "rich brains" and "rich pockets", strengthen the combination of poverty alleviation with supporting the will and wisdom, and strengthen the connection between development-oriented poverty alleviation and indemnificatory poverty alleviation.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping during his investigation in Yunnan from January 19 to 21, 2020

 

We should focus on conquering the last fortress of the fight against poverty, combine with the promotion of rural revitalization strategy, take epidemic prevention and control as the starting point, and strengthen the improvement of rural human settlements and the construction of public health system.

-- Xi Jinping's speech at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to study the response to the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic on February 3, 2020

 

Resolutely complete the task of poverty alleviation. This year's poverty alleviation will be fully concluded. There were already many tough battles to fight. Now we have to work hard to overcome the impact of the epidemic. We must work harder to implement the tough work. Labor export and import places should be accurately connected to help poor laborers return to work in an orderly manner, and support leading poverty alleviation enterprises and poverty alleviation workshops to resume work as soon as possible to absorb local employment. It is necessary to organize the docking of production and marketing, and to solve the problem of difficulty in selling agricultural and livestock products in poor areas. It is necessary to speed up the establishment and improvement of a mechanism to prevent returning to poverty, and promptly implement assistance measures for those who return to poverty due to the epidemic or other reasons to ensure that basic living standards are not affected.

-- Xi Jinping's speech at the meeting on the deployment of the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic and economic and social development on February 23, 2020.

 

Since 2015, I have held seven special conferences on winning the battle against poverty. In 2015, a symposium on poverty alleviation in old revolutionary base areas was held in Yan 'an, a symposium on poverty alleviation in some provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and economic and social development during the 13th Five-Year Plan period was held in Guiyang, a symposium on poverty alleviation cooperation between the east and the west was held in Yinchuan in 2016, a symposium on poverty alleviation in deeply impoverished areas was held in Taiyuan in 2017, a symposium on precision poverty alleviation in Chengdu in 2018, and a symposium on solving outstanding problems of "two worries and three guarantees" three guarantees "in Chongqing in 2019, at the same time also put forward the face of the work requirements. Before each symposium, I first went to the poverty-stricken areas to investigate the situation on the spot, listen to the opinions of the grassroots cadres and the masses, and summon the responsible comrades of relevant provinces to make work arrangements based on what I learned.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

At the beginning of this year, I considered taking a trip to other places to invite all the responsible comrades in the relevant places, especially the poor counties that have not yet taken off their hats, to hold a meeting to study the arrangements for the decisive battle against poverty. After the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, I also considered waiting for the epidemic to be effectively controlled before going to the local area. However, I felt that there was less than 10 months left before this year's full count, which was 300 days on a daily basis. There were already many hard bones to gnaw at to achieve the goal of poverty alleviation as scheduled. The epidemic has increased the difficulty and must be mobilized and deployed as soon as possible.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

This symposium was attended by the main responsible comrades of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The 22 provinces in the central and western regions that signed letters of responsibility for poverty alleviation to the central government have been open to the county level. This is the largest meeting on poverty alleviation since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The purpose is to mobilize the whole Party, the whole country and the whole society to promote poverty alleviation with greater determination and strength, so as to ensure the final victory.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have adhered to the people-centered development thinking, and clarified the goal and task of achieving poverty alleviation for the rural poor under my country's current standards by 2020, removing all poverty-stricken counties, and solving overall regional poverty. At present, the progress of poverty alleviation is in line with expectations, and the achievements have attracted worldwide attention.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The target task of poverty alleviation is nearing completion. Since the 1980 s, China has been helping the poor. There are two basic situations. One is based on the poverty alleviation standards at the time, the number of poor people will not be reduced when it is reduced to about 30 million, and the other is that the more people wear the hat of poor counties, the more they help. This fight against poverty has reversed this trend. The number of people living in poverty has decreased from 98.99 million at the end of 2012 to 5.51 million at the end of 2019, and the incidence of poverty has dropped from 10.2 per cent to 0.6 per cent, reducing poverty by more than 10 million per year for seven consecutive years. By the end of February this year, 601 of the 832 poverty-stricken counties across the country had announced that they had taken off their hats, 179 were undergoing exit inspections, and 52 counties had not taken off their hats. The overall regional poverty has basically been resolved.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The income level of the poor has increased by a big margin. We adhere to the development-oriented poverty alleviation policy, and guide and support all poor people who have the ability to work to create a better tomorrow with their own hands. More than 90% of the poor people who have established files and registered cards have received industrial poverty alleviation and employment poverty alleviation support. More than 2/3 of them mainly rely on migrant workers and industries to get rid of poverty. The proportion of wage income and production and operation income has increased, and the proportion of transfer income has decreased year by year. The ability to get rid of poverty independently has steadily improved. From 2013 to 2019, the per capita disposable income of farmers in 832 poverty-stricken counties increased from 6079 yuan to 11567 yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 9.7 percent, 2.2 percentage points higher than that of the national per capita disposable income in the same period. The per capita net income of poor households nationwide increased from 3416 yuan in 2015 to 9808 yuan in 2019, an average annual increase of 30.2. The quality level of the "two no worries" of the poor people has been significantly improved, and the outstanding problems of the "three guarantees" have been solved as a whole.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The basic production and living conditions in poor areas have improved significantly. All qualified villages have access to hardened roads, and all villages have clinics and village doctors. The school-running conditions of 108000 schools with weak compulsory education have been improved. The reliability rate of rural power supply has reached 99%, and the proportion of broadband access in poor villages in deep poverty-stricken areas has reached 98%. More than 960 million poor people have escaped the dilemma of "one side of the soil and water cannot feed one side of the people" through relocation. People in poverty-stricken areas have difficulty in traveling, using electricity, going to school, seeing a doctor, and communicating for a long time. Compulsory education, basic medical care, and housing safety have been guaranteed. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have been to poor areas every year for investigation and research. In the past few years, the mountain roads along the way were bumpy, the village was bumpy, the shoes were dusty on sunny days, the roads were muddy on rainy days, the houses of poor families were dilapidated, some poor people could not eat meat several times a year, many children did not go to school or dropped out of school, and many people were sick. In the past few years, I went to some poor villages again and saw real changes. The roads were smooth and smooth, and the new houses were one after another. It was not a problem for the poor to eat and wear. I was very happy to see the sincere and simple smiles on the faces of the masses.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The economic and social development of poverty-stricken areas has accelerated significantly. We insist on taking the overall economic and social development of poverty-stricken areas through poverty alleviation, and poverty-stricken areas have shown a new development situation. With the continuous growth of characteristic industries, industrial poverty alleviation, e-commerce poverty alleviation, photovoltaic poverty alleviation, tourism poverty alleviation and other rapid development, the economic vitality and development potential of poor areas have been significantly enhanced. Through ecological poverty alleviation, relocation of poverty alleviation, returning farmland to forests and grasslands, the ecological environment in poverty-stricken areas has been significantly improved, the channels for increasing employment and income for poor households have increased significantly, and basic public services have become increasingly perfect.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Poverty governance capacity has been significantly improved. We have promoted party building to promote poverty alleviation, and grassroots organizations in poverty-stricken areas have been strengthened. Through poverty identification and precise assistance, grassroots cadres have significantly improved their skills and consolidated the party's ruling foundation in rural areas. A total of 255000 village-based work teams have been sent across the country, and a total of more than 290 million cadres from party and government agencies and state-owned enterprises and institutions at or above the county level have been selected to serve as first secretaries or village cadres in poor villages and weak and scattered villages. Young cadres have learned about the grassroots, learned to do mass work, and grew up rapidly in practice. In the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, grassroots cadres in poor areas have shown strong combat effectiveness, and many village teams have been pulled up to prevent the "epidemic" team and fight the "epidemic" team, which is inseparable from their experience in poverty alleviation over the past few years.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

China's poverty reduction program and achievements in poverty reduction have been widely recognized by the international community. After the completion of this year's poverty alleviation task, about 0.1 billion poor people in my country will be lifted out of poverty, and the poverty reduction goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development will be achieved 10 years ahead of schedule. No country in the world can help so many people in such a short period of time. Poverty alleviation is of great significance to China and the world. The international community has highly praised China's poverty reduction program. UN Secretary-General Guterres said that targeted poverty alleviation strategies are the only way to help the poor and achieve the ambitious goals set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. China's experience can provide useful lessons for other developing countries. In the international cooperation of building the "Belt and Road", many developing countries hope to share China's experience in poverty reduction. When I met with the leaders of many countries or the main leaders of international organizations, they all affirmed China's achievements in poverty reduction.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

On the whole, we have made unprecedented achievements in the field of poverty alleviation, demonstrating the political advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and my country's socialist system. These achievements have condensed the wisdom and painstaking efforts of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, and are the result of the solid work of the broad masses of cadres and masses.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

I have said many times that the battle against poverty cannot be won with a single charge. From decisive achievements to overall victory, the difficulties and challenges faced are still arduous, and we must not slacken our efforts.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The remaining task of poverty alleviation is arduous. There are still 52 poor counties in the country that have not taken off their hats, 2707 poor villages have not been listed, and all the poor people who have set up files and registered cards have not been lifted out of poverty. Although the total amount is not large compared with the past, it is the most difficult hard bone to chew. The problem of "three guarantees" has been basically solved, but it is not easy to stabilize and consolidate. Some children drop out of school repeatedly, the level of medical services in many rural areas is low, the quality of renovation of dilapidated houses in some rural areas is not high, and safe drinking water in some places is unstable. There is also seasonal water shortage. Among the remaining poverty-stricken population, the proportion of the elderly, the sick and the disabled reached 45.7 per cent.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The neo-coronary pneumonia epidemic poses new challenges. The impact of the epidemic on the fight against poverty is mainly manifested in these aspects. One is that migrant workers are blocked. According to the statistics of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council, in 2019, there were 27.29 million poor laborers working outside the country. About 2/3 of these families' income comes from migrant workers, involving about 2/3 poor people who have established files and registered cards. Now, some poor laborers are affected by going out to work. If no measures are taken, their income will decrease in a short period of time. The second is the difficulty of poverty alleviation product sales and industrial poverty alleviation. Agricultural and animal husbandry products in poverty-stricken areas cannot be sold, agricultural materials cannot be transported in, and production and consumption decline, affecting industrial poverty alleviation and income increase. Three is the suspension of poverty alleviation projects. Projects such as supporting facilities for poverty alleviation and relocation, drinking water safety projects, and rural roads are under-started and cannot be advanced as planned. Fourth, help work is affected. In some areas where the epidemic is serious, temporary cadres and village teams are temporarily unable to come to their posts.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

It is very difficult to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation. Among the regions and populations that have been lifted out of poverty, some have a relatively weak industrial foundation, some have serious homogenization of industrial projects, some have insufficient employment, and some have a high proportion of policy income. According to preliminary mapping from all over the world, nearly 2 million of the people who have been lifted out of poverty are at risk of returning to poverty, and nearly 3 million of the marginal population are at risk of becoming poor.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Poverty alleviation work needs to be strengthened. At present, the biggest problem is to prevent slackness and energy transfer. I talked about this issue at the Chongqing Symposium last year. However, as more and more poor people get rid of poverty and poor counties take off their hats, there has been a shift in the focus of work, a decline in investment, and a dispersion of cadres' energy in some places. Formalism and bureaucracy have been banned repeatedly, digital poverty alleviation and false poverty alleviation still occur, and the problems of "one issue", "one share" and "one point" in some areas have not been effectively solved, and the endogenous driving force for the development of some poor people is insufficient.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

In practice, epidemics or disasters have an impact on the process of poverty reduction. We must take effective measures to minimize the impact of the epidemic. At present, the policy guarantee, financial support, and work force for poverty alleviation are sufficient, and cadres at all levels have also accumulated rich experience. As long as everyone tightens the strings, works harder, and unswervingly implements the Party Central Committee's decision-making and deployment, they are fully qualified and capable. Complete the goal of poverty alleviation on schedule.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Overcome the difficult task. It is necessary to continue to focus on deep poverty-stricken areas such as the "three districts and three states", implement poverty alleviation programs, and focus on prominent problems and weak links to implement policies. To ensure that the remaining poverty-stricken people who have established files and registered cards are lifted out of poverty as scheduled, 52 poverty-stricken counties and 1113 poverty-stricken villages will be listed and supervised. The State Council's Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development must be more serious. "War", gnaw the last hard bones. It is necessary to consolidate the results of the "two no worries and three guarantees" and prevent a rebound. Social security should be strengthened for the special poor who are unable to work, so as to ensure that they are fully insured.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Efforts to overcome the impact of the epidemic. To implement the zoning classification precision prevention and control strategy. In areas with serious epidemics, while focusing on epidemic prevention and control, we can innovate our work methods and promote epidemic prevention and control and poverty alleviation. In areas where there is no epidemic or where the epidemic is relatively light, we should concentrate on accelerating the fight against poverty. We should give priority to supporting the employment of poor labor force, give priority to the organization and use of poor labor force in the aspects of resuming work and production of enterprises, starting major projects, and building logistics system. We should encourage enterprises to recruit more people from poor areas, especially poor families, and help poor labor force return to work in an orderly manner as soon as possible through the "point-to-point" poverty alleviation cooperation between the East and the West. It is necessary to classify and implement policies, and to increase the delivery of migrant workers in areas where there is no epidemic. It is necessary to effectively solve the problem of unsalable agricultural and animal husbandry products for poverty alleviation, organize the docking of production and sales, carry out consumer poverty alleviation actions, use the Internet to broaden sales channels, and solve the problem of difficulty in selling agricultural products through multiple channels. It is necessary to support poverty alleviation industries to resume production, do a good job in spring ploughing preparations such as the supply of agricultural materials, make good use of industrial assistance funds and poverty alleviation microfinance policies, and promote the sustainable development of poverty alleviation industries. It is necessary to speed up the start and resumption of poverty alleviation projects, and complete the construction of supporting facilities for relocation, housing and drinking water safety in the first half of the year. It is necessary to do a good job of helping people who have returned to poverty as a result of the epidemic, closely follow the situation of the poor affected by the epidemic, and promptly implement measures such as support to ensure that their basic livelihood is not affected.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Take multiple measures to consolidate the results. At the end of last year, the Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development of the State Council organized various localities to carry out a comprehensive investigation of more than 9300 million people who had been lifted out of poverty, found loopholes and deficiencies, and rectified them one by one. Targeted preventive measures will be implemented for the near 2 million who are at risk of returning to poverty and the near 3 million who are at risk of becoming poor, and the people who are returning to poverty and becoming poor will be included in the assistance in a timely manner. We should increase employment and poverty alleviation efforts, strengthen the precise docking of labor export and import places, stabilize posts and expand posts, support leading poverty alleviation enterprises and poverty alleviation workshops to resume work as soon as possible, improve the ability to bring poverty, and use public welfare posts to provide more local employment opportunities nearby. It is necessary to increase the intensity of industrial poverty alleviation. The development of the planting and breeding industry has its own laws and has a long cycle. It is necessary to pay attention to long-term cultivation and support. In recent years, poverty alleviation microfinance has played an important role in supporting the poor people to develop production, and we must continue to adhere to it. We should increase the follow-up support for poverty alleviation and relocation. More than 960 million poor people have been relocated for poverty alleviation across the country, and 5 million non-poor people have been relocated in the central and western regions, which is equivalent to the population size of a medium-sized country. Now that the problems have been basically solved, the next step is to be stable, have employment, and gradually become rich.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Maintain the stability of the poverty alleviation policy. For poor counties, poor villages, and poor people who have withdrawn, it is necessary to maintain the overall stability of the existing assistance policies, and help them get on the horse and send them off. We can consider setting up a transition period. During the transition period, we should strictly implement the requirements of taking off the hat without taking off the responsibility, taking off the hat without taking off the policy, taking off the hat without taking off the help, and taking off the hat without taking off the supervision. The main policy measures can not be braked suddenly, and the village task force can not be withdrawn. It is necessary to speed up the establishment of a monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent the return of poverty, strengthen the monitoring of unstable households out of poverty, marginal households that are prone to poverty, and households with a sharp decline in income or a sharp increase in expenditure due to the epidemic or other reasons, and take targeted assistance measures in advance, instead of waiting for them to return to poverty before they can be remedied.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Strict assessment to carry out the census. We should strictly control the exit, and resolutely put an end to digital poverty alleviation and false poverty alleviation. The Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development of the State Council should carry out supervision and inspection, strengthen regular supervision and guidance, and this year the central government will continue to carry out assessment of the effectiveness of poverty alleviation. Starting from the second half of the year, the state will organize a general survey of poverty alleviation and conduct a comprehensive test of the effectiveness of poverty alleviation in various regions. It's a big deal. It is necessary to provide data support for the Party Central Committee's timely announcement of winning the battle against poverty and building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, so as to ensure that it can stand the test of history and the people.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

Continue to promote the effective convergence of comprehensive poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. Poverty alleviation is not the end, but the starting point of a new life and new struggle. In view of the changes in the main contradictions, we should clarify the working ideas, promote the smooth transformation of poverty reduction strategy and work system, integrate into the rural revitalization strategy as a whole, and establish an institutional mechanism that combines the long and short, and addresses both the symptoms and the root causes. The relevant departments of the central government are studying this work. In general, it should be conducive to stimulating the endogenous driving force for the development of low-income population in underdeveloped areas and rural areas, conducive to the implementation of precise assistance, and promoting the gradual realization of common prosperity. Where conditions permit, we can also do it first in combination with reality to accumulate experience for the surface.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

"The beginning of his work is simple, and the end of his work will be great." The more we fight against poverty, the more we must strengthen and improve the leadership of the Party. Party committees (party groups) at all levels must perform their duties and fulfill their mission.

By 2020, all the rural poor people under the current standards will be lifted out of poverty. This is a solemn promise made by the Party Central Committee to the people of the whole country. It must be realized as scheduled without any retreat or flexibility. This is a tough battle. The more you get to the end, the more you have to tighten this string. You can't stop, you can't be careless, you can't relax. All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have signed military orders at various levels, and promises will be fulfilled. Time passed quickly, and the work must be grasped very tightly up and down.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The central government should continue to increase the scale of special poverty alleviation funds, and finance at all levels should also ensure the funding needs for poverty alleviation. It is necessary to strengthen the integration of financial funds related to agriculture, strengthen the supervision of poverty alleviation funds, improve the efficiency and efficiency of the use of funds, and make good use of land and financial policies for poverty alleviation. For places that have achieved stable poverty alleviation, all localities can make overall arrangements for special poverty alleviation funds to support the poor people in non-poor counties and non-poor villages to get rid of poverty.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

It is necessary to deepen the cooperation between the east and the west in poverty alleviation and the targeted poverty alleviation by the central units. At present, the most prominent task is to help the central and western regions reduce the impact of the epidemic on poverty alleviation, help in labor cooperation, help in consumption poverty alleviation. In the long run, poverty alleviation cooperation between the east and the west should be based on the overall national regional development strategy, deepen regional cooperation, promote the gradient transfer of eastern industries to the west, and realize industrial complementarity, personnel interaction, mutual learning of technology, exchange of ideas, mutual learning of work style, and common development.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

The work of poverty alleviation is arduous, and the year of the end of the official year has been affected by the epidemic, and the tasks are heavier and more demanding. We must not forget our original aspirations, keep our mission in mind, strengthen our confidence, fight tenaciously, win a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty, and resolutely complete this great cause that is of great significance to the Chinese nation and mankind!

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on the Decisive Fight against Poverty on March 6, 2020

 

It is necessary to accurately grasp the stage changes in the prevention and control of the epidemic and the economic situation at home and abroad, adjust the focus of work and response measures according to the situation, ensure that the people's war, the overall war and the war of resistance in the prevention and control of the epidemic are won, and ensure that the goal and task of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and fighting poverty is achieved.

-Xi Jinping's speech at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on March 18, 2020

 

The development of poverty alleviation industries focuses on benefiting the masses, and the difficulty is in sustained stability. It is necessary to extend the industrial chain, improve the ability to resist risks, and establish a more stable interest linkage mechanism to ensure that the poor people continue to increase their income steadily. Poverty alleviation is not the end, but the starting point of a new life and new struggle. Next, we must do a good job in the big article of rural revitalization, and promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, and organizations.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping during his inspection tour in Shaanxi from April 20 to 23, 2020

 

This year is the decisive year for poverty alleviation. It is very important to solve the employment problem of the poor. Party committees and governments at all levels should increase their support and ensure the employment of the poor through various means.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping during his inspection tour in Shaanxi from April 20 to 23, 2020

 

Relocation is the fundamental way to solve the problem of poor soil and water on one side and realize the great-leap-forward development of the poor people, and it is also an important way to win the battle against poverty. After the problems that have been moved are basically solved, the most important thing for follow-up support is employment. Happy work can live in peace. Only by solving the employment problem can we ensure that the relocated people can live steadily, gradually become rich, and prevent them from returning to poverty. The relocated people come from all directions, and it is important to strengthen community building. Grass-roots party organizations should play the role of the core of leadership, do a good job in community management and service, seek truth and be pragmatic, so that the people can obtain tangible benefits.
