MARCHING TOWARDS GREAT GOAL

The work on agriculture, rural areas and rural people in 2020 will largely decide the quality of China's anti-poverty campaign and success of its goal to become a moderately prosperous society in all respects, Xi said at a recent meeting.

The battle against poverty won't stop until victory is secured, he stressed.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi has put himself on the front lines, making visits to the 14 regions in abject poverty.

More than three million officials from government agencies above the county level have been mobilized to villages to assist poverty reduction.

China has set 2020 as the target year to eradicate absolute poverty and the task has become more difficult as the deadline approaches.

In 2019 alone, Xi visited the poverty-stricken areas in provincial-level regions including Hebei, Chongqing, Jiangxi, Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Henan for solutions to the most difficult tasks in poverty alleviation.

More than 10 million people are expected to cast off poverty in the past year, and around 340 counties removed from the poverty list.

"Finishing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects is our solemn commitment to the people, and it must be realized," Xi stressed.
