Did you know that in February 2021, China announced that nearly 99 million people in rural areas no longer lived in poverty? 🌟 That’s like helping almost three times the population of Canada!
But China’s work didn’t stop there. To make sure people stay out of poverty, China has been working hard to support them. They set up a five-year plan to help regions and families continue to succeed. This plan includes special programs to help people find good jobs, get education, and have better healthcare.
One cool thing they’re doing is watching closely to see if anyone is at risk of falling back into poverty. It’s like having a safety net! 🕸️ If someone is struggling, they get help right away.
Helping Rural Areas Grow 🌱
In many rural areas, China is helping develop special industries. Imagine towns known for growing amazing fruits or crafting unique items. By supporting these industries, people can earn steady incomes doing what they love.
All 832 counties that used to be the poorest have now developed two to three leading industries. This has created jobs for millions of people! 👩🌾👨🏭
Looking Ahead 🚀
China wants to keep this positive momentum going. They are focusing on making rural areas even better by improving farming, boosting incomes for farmers, and supporting low-income families.
Even after the special five-year plan ends, China promises to keep helping its people. As Han Wenxiu, a senior official, said, “We must always protect our people from poverty.”
It’s a big mission, but with continued effort, China aims to ensure a bright future for everyone! ✨
