BEIJING - The ruling Communist Party is celebrating the official end of extreme poverty in China with a propaganda campaign that praises President Xi Jinping’s role, part of efforts to cement his image as a history-making leader who is reclaiming his country’s rightful place as a global power.
The propaganda apparatus has been linking national successes to Xi, including fighting the coronavirus, China’s rise as a technology creator and December’s successful lunar mission to bring back moon rocks.
The party announced in November, with little fanfare, that China no longer had anyone in extreme poverty. That was down from an official estimate of almost 99 million living on annual incomes of less than 2,300 yuan ($355) per person a decade ago.
The full-scale propaganda campaign launched this month has filled state-controlled newspapers and airwaves with reports on the anti-poverty milestone and Xi’s personal role in it.
They credit Xi with launching an initiative shortly after taking power in 2012 that enabled China to beat by a decade the 2030 target set by the World Bank for eliminating extreme poverty.

“Average income per person among the “rural underprivileged” rose from 2,982 yuan ($356) in 2015 to 10,740 yuan ($1,665) last year, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.”
Great. Average is now $4.56/day.
While in the USA, nearly none are under ~$25/day.
Of course, the classic communist method for eradicating poverty is to nationalize farms and then wait for the destitute to die off. “See? No more poverty!” “But they’re all dead now.” “See? No more poverty!”
Interesting that they are all still wearing masks? I thought China had the wuhan flu under control?

only this can be far worse because B5 (the USA) is now the Third Special Directorate of China with the subversion of the 20202 Presidential election and the take over of the US election process by the Democrat party at the behest of their masters in the CCP.
You will hear and see nothing from these people about what life in rural China is like other than carefully prepared and filmed scenes. Everything coming out of China, now that the Deng period is over, must reflect positively on the CCP and on China. Everything.
Ah, I see, they shot all the poor people!
A country can be a totalitarian hellhole and NOT starve it’s citizens... China is living proof...
no more ‘extreme’ poverty efforts successful??
matches their no more elections agenda here quite nicely.
Thanks to all the freebies and secret codes Biden is and will be sending their way.
