China's war on absolute poverty: Targeted poverty alleviation
Around 832 poor counties, 128,000 poor villages and nearly 100 million poor people. That was the reality China faced in late 2012. To build a moderately prosperous society, China had to win the war against absolute poverty. Being pragmatic, mindful of local conditions and attentive to details, that's what targeted poverty alleviation entails.

Indians need to study Mao Zedong's article 'On Practice.'

Here is a part from 'On Practice' by Mao Zedong.

*

...

Marxists hold that man's social practice alone is the criterion of the truth of his knowledge of the external world. What actually happens is that man's knowledge is verified only when he achieves the anticipated results in the process of social practice (material production, class struggle or scientific experiment). If a man wants to succeed in his work, that is, to achieve the anticipated results, he must bring his ideas into correspondence with the laws of the objective external world; if they do not correspond, he will fail in his practice. After he fails, he draws his lessons, corrects his ideas to make them correspond to the laws of the external world, and can thus turn failure into success; this is what is meant by "failure is the mother of success" and "a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit". The dialectical-materialist theory of knowledge places practice in the primary position, holding that human knowledge can in no way be separated from practice and repudiating all the erroneous theories which deny the importance of practice or separate knowledge from practice. Thus Lenin said, "Practice is higher than (theoretical) knowledge, for it has not only the dignity of universality, but also of immediate actuality." [1] The Marxist philosophy of dialectical materialism has two outstanding characteristics. One is its class nature: it openly avows that dialectical materialism is in the service of the proletariat. The other is its practicality: it emphasizes the dependence of theory on practice, emphasizes that theory is based on practice and in turn serves practice. The truth of any knowledge or theory is determined not by subjective feelings, but by objective results in social practice. Only social practice can be the criterion of truth. The standpoint of practice is the primary and basic standpoint in the dialectical materialist theory of knowledge. [2]

But how then does human knowledge arise from practice and in turn serve practice? This will become clear if we look at the process of development of knowledge.

In the process of practice, man at first sees only the phenomenal side, the separate aspects, the external relations of things. For instance, some people from outside come to Yenan on a tour of observation. In the first day or two, they see its topography, streets and houses; they meet many people, attend banquets, evening parties and mass meetings, hear talk of various kinds and read various documents, all these being the phenomena, the separate aspects and the external relations of things. This is called the perceptual stage of cognition, namely, the stage of sense perceptions and impressions. That is, these particular things in Yenan act on the sense organs of the members of the observation group, evoke sense perceptions and give rise in their brains to many impressions together with a rough sketch of the external relations among these impressions: this is the first stage of cognition. At this stage, man cannot as yet form concepts, which are deeper, or draw logical conclusions.

As social practice continues, things that give rise to man's sense perceptions and impressions in the course of his practice are repeated many times; then a sudden change (leap) takes place in the brain in the process of cognition, and concepts are formed. Concepts are no longer the phenomena, the separate aspects and the external relations of things; they grasp the essence, the totality and the internal relations of things. Between concepts and sense perceptions there is not only a quantitative but also a qualitative difference. Proceeding further, by means of judgement and inference one is able to draw logical conclusions. The expression in San Kuo Yen Yi, [3] "knit the brows and a stratagem comes to mind", or in everyday language, "let me think it over", refers to man's use of concepts in the brain to form judgements and inferences. This is the second stage of cognition. When the members of the observation group have collected various data and, what is more, have "thought them over", they are able to arrive at the judgement that "the Communist Party's policy of the National United Front Against Japan is thorough, sincere and genuine". Having made this judgement, they can, if they too are genuine about uniting to save the nation, go a step further and draw the following conclusion, "The National United Front Against Japan can succeed." This stage of conception, judgement and inference is the more important stage in the entire process of knowing a thing; it is the stage of rational knowledge. The real task of knowing is, through perception, to arrive at thought, to arrive step by step at the comprehension of the internal contradictions of objective things, of their laws and of the internal relations between one process and another, that is, to arrive at logical knowledge. To repeat, logical knowledge differs from perceptual knowledge in that perceptual knowledge pertains to the separate aspects, the phenomena and the external relations of things, whereas logical knowledge takes a big stride forward to reach the totality, the essence and the internal relations of things and discloses the inner contradictions in the surrounding world. Therefore, logical knowledge is capable of grasping the development of the surrounding world in its totality, in the internal relations of all its aspects.

It doesn't matter, Indian poor can eat their so called democracy for breakfast, lunch and dinner, they'll never go hungry.

There is only so much to consume. If one group consumes something then another cannot. Over the past 20 years China (and the USA) have consumed most resources. Europe, the UK, Japan, Canada and oil states have consumed much of the rest.
Once resources are consumed others have to go without. Construct homes, buildings and infrastructure? at what price? If some people don't live on endless credit and serve the banking cabals of Europe and the US then they are priced out of the market and get nothing.
Chinese served those cabals. Indians and Africans didn't.

china can return the favour to the poor with value-for-money products formerly dominated by western countries.

Democracy with Indian characteristics is definitely a failed experiment.

And twenty years later, India has the same goal. Now push back to 2030. Sad.

This is called Genuine Democracy-----Of the people, By the People, For the people.

While the western democracy, Of the rich, By the rich, For the rich.

Salute to my mother country.
Salute to People's Republic of China.
Salute to the greatness of China Communist Party.

Without Chairman Mao, without CCP, our fate will be even worse than India. Chairman Mao's achievement and contribution is the greatest in China history.

The west could NOT tolerate a huge country like China with 1.4 billion population rejuvenation. It was Chairman Mao changed the destiny of China and Chinese people.

Salute to Chairman Mao.

Much of China is OWNED by the West. What the Chinese sell profits WESTERN nations.
The sinking, economically drowning, poor will grab on to anything to try and stay afloat. They will climb atop others causing them to drown in an effort to save themselves. It is only desperation that is makiing people see China as their savior.

Which part of China is owned by the west? since China sell profites western nations, why the whole west is struggling and trying to cut dependence on China?

49% of those partnership corporations that manufacture huge amounts of goods. Plus all those patent and product licenses.
Many nations in the "West" are very divided and inequitable. You can see that. What is occurring is probably all staged to find potential trouble makers, crush them and "reset" certain countries in the "West" at the expense of many people, trading partners and allies. Same thing was done with Hitler. He said "Jews ruined my life." His life was ruined to make him into the tool/weapon he became. Probably went after the wrong people. It is blame the patsy and find a scapegoat not blame the true culprit.

Martin Raiser, World Bank country director for China, said in an exclusive interview with CGTN that China has been "very effective" in identifying poor households, as part of its targeted approach in poverty elimination. Raiser also noted e-commerce played a key role in the country's fight against poverty.
