The central government not only needs to increase its financial input in such areas but also promote more public resources to help local people lift themselves out of poverty, says an article in Beijing Youth Daily. Excerpts:
The causes of poverty, rather than poverty itself, are the main challenges China faces as it developes.
Xi Jinping, Party leader and head of the country’s military, recently visited Fuping county in North China’s Hebei province, a poverty-stricken mountainous area. Reports of his visit showed how poor the area is, even though it is not far from prosperous Beijing.
It seems as if the lifestyles of the people there have not adapted to match China’s rapid development. They are drifting further away from mainstream Chinese society. Poor geological conditions are only superficial causes of local poverty. Scarce public resources in finance, economy, society, education and medical care are another cause. Peasants lack necessary technological and financial assistance to eradicate poverty.
Plans to plant fruit trees, raise sheep, as well as other economic measures all failed due to lack of technical guidance and financial support.
The central government not only needs to increase its financial input in such areas but also promote more public resources to help local people lift themselves out of poverty.
In our daily life, more and more loanwords appear and change our habits in Chinese expression. Loanwords sound very similar with their original English words, and the process of learning them is full of fun to foreign students.
It has been a while since I've contributed to this Forum and I figured that since now I am officially on summer holiday and another school year is behind me I would share a post with you.
