Internet Plus aids poverty reduction

China will make full use of Internet Plus to involve people from all walks of life in helping the remaining 43 million people in the country who live in poverty.

As part of the effort, a government-sponsored online platform has been established and has attracted about 100,000 warmhearted users who would like to contribute, poverty-relief authorities said in a news conference organized by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday.

The country is pressed for time to lift all people out of poverty by 2020, which is when the central government has pledged to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and it's taking advanced measures to fulfill the task.
