On the main poverty battlefield
Guizhou is the country's main battlefield in the fight against poverty with the biggest impoverished population in China, accounting for 7 or 8 percent of poverty stricken people nationwide. Guizhou should be a provincial sample of poverty alleviation. We will pay more attention and put more aid into the provinces with the most quantity of poor people and the most possibility of becoming poor.
On the environment and poverty relief
To eradicate poverty in an ecological way is also part of supply-side structural reform. Poverty elimination should stop destroying the environment and help restore the natural environment. There should be a balance point between them.
