President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China has made remarkable achievements in eradicating absolute poverty, while more work needs to be done to consolidate these achievements in the war on poverty.
Xi made the remarks at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, more than a week after the country's last nine counties cast off extreme poverty.
What's behind the war on poverty is the people-centric philosophy, Xi stressed, which is aimed to improve people's livelihood.
But Xi warned of rural areas returning to poverty, urging officials at all levels to continue the poverty alleviation efforts.
China relocated over 9.6 million people to complete its poverty alleviation relocation plan during the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) period, said Zhao Chenxin, secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, at a briefing in Beijing on Thursday morning.
About 35,000 centralized resettlement areas – 5,000 urban areas and 30,000 rural sites – were built and about 600 billion yuan ($91.74 billion) was invested in a variety of funds.
