China set to lift remaining 40 million people out of poverty by 2020

[GS Zhou]

Having adequate food, housing and work is the fundamental right for all citizens. This is the goal of not only the current government but also of the previous governments, including in the imperial era.

exactly! Take a look at 《礼运--大同篇》, which was authored in more than 2,500years ago
大道之行也，天下为公。选贤与能，讲信修睦，故人不独亲其亲，不独子其子，使老有所终，壮有所用，幼有所长，鳏寡孤独废疾者皆有所养，男有分，女有归。货恶其弃于地也，不必藏于己；力恶其不出于身也，不必为己。是故谋闭而不兴，盗窃乱贼而不作，故外户而不闭，是谓大同。

Beauty of the Chinese language is beyond words, No one in a million years can translate them.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful article, which describes ideal society that the Confucianism is promoting. The thought continues inspiring China even after 2000 years.

For the benefit of all the friends who do not know classical Chinese text well (a few sentences can be difficult to make sense) , here is a translation piece found on internet:

"When the Great Principle prevails, the world is a Commonwealth in which rulers are selected according to their wisdom and ability. Mutual confidence is promoted and good neighborliness cultivated. Hence, men do not regard as parents only their own parents, nor do they treat as children only their own children. Provision is secured for the aged till death, employment for the able-bodied, and the mean of growing up for the young. Helpless widows and widowers, orphans and the lonely, as well as the sick and the disable, are well cared for. Men have their respective occupations and women their homes. They do not like to see wealth lying idle, yet they do not keep it for their own gratification. They despise indolence, yet they do not use their energies for energies for their own benefit. In this way, selfish scheming are repressed, and robbers, thieves and other lawless men no longer exist, and there is no need for people to shut their outers. This is called the Great Harmony"

I watched on TV reports that the current approach by China is that the local government officials are required to go out in the country side and seek out the poor families, and in a pro-active way find out the cause of their poor income, and to find ways to eliminate the cause of poverty in a case by case basis.

I think this is a very good and effective way to help the poor.

If you work as a local level official that means there are loads of equally qualified candidates waiting in line to take your job if you failed to bring desired result to your superior. So you have to work your *** off to keep those competitors at bay.

How ?? ...simply by erasing those poor ppl's name on accounting list like what CN is doing wt her jobless rate report ??

Many analysts say, however, that the government figure is an unreliable indicator of national employment conditions as it measures only employment in urban areas and also doesn’t take into account the millions of migrant workers that form the bedrock of China’s labor force.

Actually for business owners like me the real problem is the fast growing wage rate and trouble to retain good employees cause there are plenty of job opportunities everywhere.

Yeah, as a business owners, u should stop posting nonsense here like many times before.

there r at least 350-400 million Cnese having No job or unstable job specially in Cn rural area where poor ppl cant even grow crops during long-hard winter like this year.

I dont see any solution that can help CN end its poverty even in 2022 except erasing their name on accounting list.

Where did you get that number. living in China will make you understand that China has way more job opportunities than people who apply for them. Come and experience if you don't believe it.
