Xi Jinping said at the Central rural Work Conference on the 29th that a 5-year transition period should be set up from the date of poverty eradication.
Xi Jinping said at the Central Rural Work Conference that after the victory in poverty eradication, rural revitalization should be comprehensively promoted, and said that a five-year transition period should be set up from the date of poverty eradication for counties that have escaped from poverty.
The Central Rural Work Conference is the highest work conference of the CPC to deploy rural work in the coming year. The CPC CCTV news broadcast reported on the evening of December 29 that the conference was held in Beijing on the 28th and 29th.
Xi Jinping said at the meeting that a five-year transition period was set up to maintain the overall stability of the main support policies. The existing support policies will be categorized and optimized on a case-by-case basis to gradually realize the transition from concentrating resources to support poverty eradication to comprehensively promoting rural revitalization.
The so-called “rural revitalization strategy” was proposed by Xi Jinping in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The content includes: accelerating the development of rural industries, deepening rural reform, promoting the improvement and upgrading of rural living environment, strengthening and improving rural governance, and deeply promoting the construction of a safe countryside.
Some analysts believe that Xi Jinping’s so-called “poverty alleviation” victory, he himself does not believe, or would not have set up another five-year transition period.
A local government in Sichuan hired hoodlums to threaten and intimidate poor villagers, forcing them to sign and admit that they had “escaped poverty. The picture shows a poor farmer in rural China.
The so-called “poverty eradication” is a major political task set by Xi Jinping in 2015, which requires that all poor areas and people in poverty be lifted out of poverty by 2020, and all poor counties be removed from the list, so as to enter a moderately prosperous society.
However, the Chinese Communist Party’s viral epidemic, which has continued from late 2019 to the present, has led to a significant hit to China’s economy. Coupled with the international siege on the Chinese Communist Party’s concealment of the epidemic, various domestic calamities have continued.
Li Keqiang revealed in late May that 600 million people in China have a monthly income of only 1,000 yuan, and now that the epidemic has hit, more people may return to poverty; Caixin said that more than 900 million people in China have a monthly income of less than 2,000 yuan. Outsiders believe that this actually explains the authorities’ failure to alleviate poverty.
But since December last year, more than a dozen provinces such as Tibet, Chongqing, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi and Henan have claimed that poverty-stricken counties have been “cleared”. 2020, from November 16 to 21, Ningxia, Sichuan, Guangxi and Gansu announced more intensively that all local poverty-stricken counties have been “lifted out of poverty “.
On November 23, Guizhou announced that the last nine deeply impoverished counties had withdrawn from the sequence of impoverished counties. The Chinese Communist Party media then declared that all 832 poverty-stricken counties in the country had been removed from poverty and “the national target task of poverty eradication has been completed”.
On December 3, Xi Jinping also announced at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC that the target task of poverty eradication had been completed as scheduled.
As there are frequent rumors around the world that the CCP’s poverty alleviation is full of corruption and falsification, local officials have forced poverty eradication for the sake of political achievements, even forcing people to die. The news immediately triggered a huge backlash from the people. Netizens revealed, “Poverty eradication everywhere was not announced by the poor, it was ‘approved’.”
Other netizens rehashed Li Keqiang’s revelation at the end of May that 600 million people in China have a monthly income of just 1,000 yuan, questioning the authorities how 900 million people were lifted out of poverty under the epidemic and flooding in the south for more than three months.
Mr. Zhu, a farmer in northeast China, said that getting out of poverty is out of reach for them, and recently Chen Dagang died of hunger in their village. Chen Dagang’s land was expropriated by the government without compensation or low-income insurance, and finally he died without a word! In short, he was worse than a beggar before he died!
Mr. Liang, who is a relief volunteer in Daliang Mountain, Sichuan Province, told the Epoch Times that many people have become poorer since the government has been helping the poor in the area, and many people cannot eat a few meals of rice a year.
A large number of the most disadvantaged local families and their young children have been in an even more difficult situation since the beginning of the year, said Liu, an official from Juba town in Tongzi county, Zunyi, Guizhou province. Schools require children to eat at home in the morning before going to school, and those who are in a position to do so may be 50 cents or 1 yuan to buy a little snack to fill their stomachs, and their spending is, on the whole, close to zero.
Mr. Li, a citizen of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, also said that the difficulties of some people at the bottom of their city have intensified, but the official announcement that the country has been lifted out of poverty is basically a self-deception. It’s a cosmic joke that some families have reached a point of great distress and can barely feed themselves.
Mr. Zhang, a local farmer in Jiangsu, which is also considered a developed region, told New Tang Dynasty, “Many people are so poor they don’t have food to eat, clothes to wear, and people who are poor because of illness, who have a disease and then jump off a building, which is rarely reported, but actually seen a lot.”
The Communist Party’s propaganda for poverty eradication has been questioned as another “satellite” and “great leap forward”.
It is interesting to note that the State Council’s Poverty Alleviation Office, controlled by Li Keqiang, does not acknowledge the so-called comprehensive poverty eradication either.
China News Service reported on Nov. 25 that Xia Qing, deputy director of the State Council’s Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development, stressed that the final announcement of China’s comprehensive poverty eradication should be made by the central government. He said that after the provincial-level declaration of poverty eradication, they will also be subject to spot checks by the State Council Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development. Each place has to rectify the problems found in the random checks, census and assessment.
The official website of the Communist Party of China State Council said on Nov. 23 that Premier Li Keqiang, when holding a symposium, told the heads of provincial governments, “You speak the truth so that we can come up with real strategies.” This is seen as an insinuation of Xi Jinping’s pompous propaganda of “lifting all people out of poverty and running for prosperity”.
So how did the CCP achieve comprehensive poverty eradication? An official surnamed Li from within the system revealed that the CCP authorities have four major tactics to fight poverty: first, lowering the standard of poverty eradication, second, falsifying data, third, making surprise condolences, and fourth, brutally sealing mouths.
