Before the two sessions, the Communist Party of China held a summing-up and commendation conference on poverty eradication. Xi Jinping declared that poverty eradication had created a “miracle on earth”. However, at a press conference on the closing day of the two sessions, Li Keqiang said that China’s “flexible employment” involved more than 200 million people, and that they should be given social security subsidies to protect people’s basic rights and interests. The statement was seen as a leak of China’s employment woes and a demolition of Xi’s miracle of poverty eradication.
On March 11, the closing of the National People’s Congress of the Communist Party of China, Li Keqiang mentioned at a two-hour press conference that although society did not have massive layoffs last year, it still faces great employment pressure in 2021.
Li Keqiang said that this year alone, “about 14 million new urban labor force, including 9.09 million college graduates, a record high,” and also to protect the employment of retired military personnel, but also to provide 270 million, 80 million migrant workers with the opportunity to work.
Li Keqiang also revealed that “flexible employment is now on the rise in China, which already involves more than 200 million people. Some people have a hard Time working several jobs for one person, so we should give him social security subsidies and provide basic protection of rights and interests …….”
The so-called flexible employment is also known as odd jobs. Flexible employment sometimes requires one person to work several jobs in order to earn enough income to make ends meet.
In this regard, some media said that this is the same as Li Keqiang directly in front of the world to expose the truth, lifting more than 200 million people have to one person to work several jobs to survive the painful truth, the proper demolition of Xi Jinping’s claim that China’s miracle of poverty alleviation.
Li Keqiang also cited the example of his participation in the delegation’s discussion, a secondary school principal said: now the county and township secondary schools still lack quality teacher resources, teachers are not well paid, and it is difficult to improve their qualifications, for the children of migrant workers in the city, as long as they get a residence permit, they must be allowed to have access to Education, etc.
According to the analysis, this example given by Li Keqiang outlines vividly the dilemma of the Life of Chinese farmers, and the so-called poverty eradication and revitalization of the countryside are nothing but false slogans.
Li also admitted that “medical institutions and forces at the grassroots level in counties and villages are still weak, and many people run to big hospitals in big cities when they are sick”, and he did not explicitly say that he had not actually gotten rid of poverty, but he said, “There are many things to do in terms of people’s livelihood, and we have to continue to improve people’s livelihood in development “.
5, the opening session of the Communist Party of China National People’s Congress, Li Keqiang to do the government work report, also talked about the issue of poverty eradication, he stressed the need to promote stable employment of the population out of poverty, increase skills training,…… stratified classification to strengthen the permanent help for low-income rural population. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get out of poverty.
At the time, it was reported that Li Keqiang was too nervous and mispronounced the word, but others questioned Li’s intention to read “return to poverty” as “escape from poverty.
At a press conference at the Communist Party’s two sessions in May 2020, Li also mentioned the fact that 600 million people in China earn an average monthly income of only about 1,000 yuan, which was widely discussed at the time as a slap in the face to Xi Jinping’s “2020 comprehensive poverty eradication”, leaving Xi in disgrace.
Before the two sessions in 2021, the Chinese Communist Party held a national summing-up and commendation conference on February 25 to honor relevant individuals and enterprises for their poverty eradication efforts. Xi Jinping declared that the battle against poverty had created a miracle on earth.
Radio Free Asia reported that there is still a huge gap between China’s poverty standards and international standards. The World Bank’s 2018 poverty line for upper-middle-income countries such as China is US$5.50 per person per day.
Mr. Yue, a former official in Henan, said that lifting poverty across the board and running for prosperity has been a lie of the Communist Party for decades.
He said, like inside the mountains of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, the people have few resources and have difficulty in eating. Besides, in the northwest, how many poor people are there in Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Qinghai? There are still many people living in kilns on the northwest plateau, and it is difficult to eat and drink water, so how can these people get out of poverty? The so-called poverty alleviation is only the official self-talk.
