After the Chinese Communist Party authorities high-profile claims of “comprehensive victory” in poverty alleviation, CCTV recently exposed the scandal of Xi Jinping’s hometown Shaanxi Province’s poverty eradication falsification, and Shaanxi authorities immediately “debunked” the rumor. The analysis said that CCTV broke through the “forbidden zone” of propaganda to report the falsification of poverty alleviation in Shaanxi Province, which was accused by Shaanxi authorities as “false news”, and the water behind is very deep.

In the campaign launched by the Chinese Communist Party authorities to “build a moderately prosperous society”, Luonan County in Shaanxi Province was declared to be out of poverty in February 2020. However, on April 24, the Communist Party’s Central Television (CCTV) exposed the falsification of Luonan County’s “removal from poverty”.

In the CCTV report, the poverty alleviation target in Lingkou Township, Luonan County, Shaanxi Province, said that in order to cope with the acceptance inspection of “removing the cap from poverty” by the higher level, the poverty alleviation officials concentrated the “five-guarantee households” in each village to the resettlement site, which was not even connected to water. After the acceptance, no one cares about the life of the “five-guarantee households” anymore.

The villagers also said that since most of the laborers in the village have gone out to work, the “five-guarantee households” can only pay people to pull water, and then store the water in the dry cellar, which costs more than 50 yuan (RMB) per ton of water.

The CCTV report also said that the county’s water conservancy bureau refused to respond to the above news and took away the reporter’s cell phone. Local officials even questioned the reporter: “Who sent you here?”

On April 26, the Communist Party of China (CPC) Shaanxi Provincial Government Information Office released the preliminary results of the verification of the CCTV report on Luonan County’s “adulterated poverty removal”. According to the report, Shaanxi Province, through several days of field verification, CCTV reflected that the five-guarantee households in the two villages, before the cap was removed, the problems of feeding, housing and drinking water have been solved. “Poverty removed from the cap” to meet the relevant national and Shaanxi provincial standards.

Netizens: poverty alleviation is a political issue bite the bullet and can not admit

The incident of falsification of poverty in Shaanxi Province has aroused public attention, and the related topics once rushed to the hot search list.

The US-based current affairs commentator Xing Tianxing pointed out that this is only the tip of the iceberg of the Chinese Communist Party’s poverty eradication falsification. He said: “As Chinese people, we all know it by heart. The ‘poverty elimination’ is actually a political task to be accomplished. This has always been the case in the history of the Chinese Communist Party, and anything that is done as its political campaign is basically done through this kind of falsification, the rush to get things done.”

Some netizens said, “Investigate that night overnight? The results came out on the 26th, poor counties are mountain roads, where do you get the time to be able to investigate so quickly clear? According to Shaanxi’s previous self-investigation results authenticity, this statement I really do not dare to believe.”

“Can you believe it? Shaanxi provincial government is the athlete and the referee, their own investigation can have problems! It is difficult to CCTV rumors, the water inside is very deep ah!” “The province is not stupid, this is a political issue, are fully out of poverty how can they drag their feet here, bite the bullet and can not admit. As for the water these small problems are not much, admit the mistake and correct it.”

“The official investigation is estimated to be on television was interviewed by several families, and now there are cadres at the door to guard the family. This happened in Shaanxi is not unexpected, before Qinling villa not also with the central deadlock? The roots are all rotten.”

Who authorized CCTV to debunk the CCP’s fake poverty alleviation?

On February 25 this year, Xi Jinping announced that the battle against poverty had achieved “comprehensive victory”, with the rural poor all out of poverty and 832 poor counties all off the cap. Xi also stressed that another “miracle on earth” had been created under his leadership.

In response to a rare CCTV report on the falsification of poverty alleviation in Shaanxi, current affairs commentator Gu Feng wrote that since Xi Jinping came to power, he has undertaken six key performance projects. The only thing Xi can boast of is the “poverty alleviation project”. And this time, CCTV high-profile kicked out Shaanxi poverty alleviation falsification, is obviously a slap in the face of Xi.

The article said, according to the Chinese Communist Party’s “four consciousness” and “two maintenance” requirements, all Xi’s key performance projects, the media is absolutely not allowed to do negative reports, otherwise, is to sing the opposite of Xi. The exposure of the fake poverty alleviation incident in Shaanxi by CCTV shows that there are only two possibilities: one is the personal behavior of the reporter, and the other is the authorization of anti-Xi forces. But from the perspective of CCTV’s selection review process, if it was a personal act of the reporter, the content could not have passed CCTV’s broadcast review, so the only possibility is that CCTV was authorized by anti-Xi forces to deliberately make Xi look bad.

Xing Tianxing thinks there is another possibility that the fake poverty eradication project lay your hand upon the people’s eyes and that the authorities’ boasted performance is a joke, so the party media “scolded and helped”, instead of holding the system responsible for the one-party dictatorship, only blaming local officials.

He said, “The media like CCTV supposedly allows some voices to be published, and their purpose is to make the people believe in the CCP more. These problems are not caused by the party, they are caused by individuals. Many people have always believed that the central government’s policies are good, but they have been misinterpreted by officials at the bottom. So we see that there will be some people will go to petition, but people who really go on the petition road will find that there is no solution to the petition.”
