China's war on poverty

For more:
news.cgtn.com/news/2020-12-14...
China has brought over 700 million people out of poverty through economic development. But over 100 million people remained intractably poor, trapped in poverty due to isolation, low education, and infirmities. After gathering and organizing materials for half a year, the American-Chinese co-production team of "China's Poverty Alleviation at the Grassroots" immersed themselves into the local lives of China's rural poor in remote mountainous areas. With "targeted poverty alleviation" being the main topic, five simple but touching stories personalize the process and depict the measures of combating poverty.

I grew up in a small village in China in 1970s , Which was desperately poor . I was the lucky few to enter university in China and then studied in UK , and established my own business quite successfully in Shenzhen . I used to lend help and money to local villagers for various causes such as illness , tuition , housebuilding etc . since 2000. But I was rarely approached by any of them for financial help in the last 5 to 10 years . The villagers are much better off . In the village , Pavement roads were built by the government, and new houses sprung up . It is much greener and more beautiful. Also nobody discriminate against the poorer ones who receives government subsidies in the village . This is just an epitome of China’s endless effort to eliminate poverty .

@@johnsoltan965 That's Capitalism at work, which seeks to shrink the workers wages in order to maximise profits. Capitalism is the overproduction of goods for the sake of profits, unnecessarily polluting the environment in the process, with the eventual goal being the complete depletion of the Earth's resources. Communism is the belief that every resource should be allocated *according to one's needs.* The Marxist saying goes: _"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."_ Because our modern industries are just too efficient, we can literally produce enough food, goods, houses, hospitals, schools, etc for everyone on the Earth, yet we still have starving people, homeless people, illiteracy, people lacking access to healthcare, and so on.

Selecting those who need help, graduating those who have been lifted out of poverty, working various strategies, etc. Truly impressive and also how difficult has been the task. I now realize it was not about giving money or jobs. Each poor household needs to be evaluated individually. Am also surprised the number of households with chronic illnesses, mental illness, etc. The road ahead is long. Some fall back into poverty. And rising just above the poverty line is just the starting point. I wish China continued success.

BBC wrote an article today criticising China's war on poverty policy. It claims China "forces" people into work even if it pays well because some people from minority groups such as Uighurs may not freely choose to do the work that was given to them such as picking cottons even if it elevate them from poverty. What a load of rubbish the BBC is spouting. The UK allow 100,000 eastern Europeans into it country to pick fruits and vegetables in British farms so do the BBC think it is forced labour? How is it these type of work these people freely choose to do or is it just to make a some money to send home? Maybe in the UK the culture of claiming benefit and refusal to work is fundamental human right but then I do recall able body people face benefit cut if they are not activiely seeking employment. Many people in the UK will be thankful if they can get work and put food on the table right now even if the job they were given is not ther dream job. Statistically 99% of people around the world if given the choice would prefer to be in another job than the one they are doing. BBC must think we are all in "forced labour".

I hope many can see this without preconceived notions and see how hard work and honesty can be put together to help one another. The scene with the villagers discussing their poverty evaluations and the scene of party members participating in self criticism (especially the bit explaining the repercussions of not fulfilling the goals) broke any airs of this being a document of china patting itself on the back. It's not a perfect process but an admirable mission.

I live in a large, rich North American city - one of the richest in the world, in fact. The skyline is full of luxury highrises being built, and the suburbs are full of the houses of the millionaires and billionaires. But under every bridge and next to every freeway exchange are hundreds of homeless people who have nothing. Some living in tents, many sleeping in the freezing air under just blankets and sleeping bags. The lucky ones sleep in their cars. Some have substance abuse issues, but many simply lost their jobs, couldn't pay their rent and their debts, and had no family to turn to for help. I meet many foreigners who are shocked by the level of poverty that's allowed to exist here. The government's solution to this is to use the police to chase them around the city, kicking them out and forcing them to move somewhere else. Then, rinse and repeat. Solving poverty is not a priority for the West. In fact, the presence of poverty serves two important purposes in preserving elite rule. One: it ensures a large labor force for menial and low wage work - the gig workers, Uber and delivery drivers, and other minimum wage workers who power the profits of their employers. Two: it sends a powerful subliminal message: "work hard for your boss, or this could be you".

So true. The capitalistic US gov only caters to the avaricious needs of the millionaire/billionaire class. Whereas, the socialist gov of China genuinely cares for its poor and ordinary working people by aiming for common prosperity for all - eliminating abject poverty. What a stark contrast between an atheist socialist gov and a democracy led by many so-called Christian politicians. China has more caring and compassion for the poor, while the US gov ignores the needs of the poor - just always busy with instigating profit-making wars that never end.

Human rights comes in many shapes and forms, and the notion of universal human rights are all but an idealistic notion, given the cultural differences and nuances of different countries and ethnicities. To detractors who kept harping on China's lack in freedom of speech, free press etc as the proverbial hitting stick, what human rights do you have if one is living in abject poverty? So if China today is run in a Western style democracy and capitalist model like USA, giving everyone tom and harry the right to vote, the right to cuss at the President, and having choices of medias (which is actually controlled by an elite group of 5/6 conglomerate lol), they would be a model country, in spite of having Chinese citizens being homeless, starving, and without the right skills and opportunities to progress in life? In the past 40 years, more and more people have sunk into poverty, especially in democratic run nations ravaged by extreme capitalism/plutocracy, which is increasingly a failed model in the West since the governance around it have been taken off. Compared to China which have progressively lifted large swathes of population out of abject poverty and an increasingly big layer of middle class now, who are living with more dignity and human rights? Ironically China is adopting the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which was designed and advocated by a Western psychologist, yet it is being criticized constantly for lacking in human rights.

I hope the world will understand, what democracy is about: the war against poverty. education & social security are essential for the world to become a better place and to develop humankind. Sending respect and love to China, I hope Germany will learn from China 🇨🇳 ❤️

The foundation of a nation is its people. Of paramount importance to the people is their livelihood. However, livelihood can only be built and sustained on social stability, and environmentally sustainable development. On the other hand, social stability is equally dependent on the values subscribed to by the people at large. In a nut shell, this doctrine has long been ingrained in the Chinese sociopolitical philosophy: 国以民为本，民以食为天，食以安为天，安以质为本，质以诚为根. The guiding principle of CPC is to win the hearts and minds of its people (人心向背). This people-centric doctrine is traceable to an old Chinese adage of: “得人心者得天下; 失人心者失天下”. This may literally be translated to: “he who wins the hearts and minds of the people, reigns; and conversely, he who lost the hearts and minds of the people, perishes”. To win the hearts and minds of the people is obviously not an easy task. Not when China has a population of over 1.4 billion. That said, empirically there is no other government in the world that has done a better job than the Chinese government.

USA: How can China afford foreign intervention wars and aircraft carriers with all these entitlement programs???

[@ronniechew6566]

Wars on poverty don't need WMDs 😁

[@davidfoust9767]

I don't remember the exact numbers but China has like 2 aircraft carriers with 2 under construction. The US has 20 and those are just the small ones that are similar in size to China's. The US also has 5 super carriers that are 5 times the size of the smaller ones. But we are supposed to be super scared in the US of China coming to attack us. LOL!

China's success in fighting and eliminating absolute poverty is one of the greatest achievements in China's history, other countries should learn from China's achievements in fighting poverty, well done China!

Worthy to note >>> On CGTN videos, KZbin puts a warning that says, "CGTN is funded in whole or in part by the Chinese government." On PBS videos, KZbin also has a warning, that says "PBS is an American public broadcast service." Interesting the subtle differences in how those are phrased - the same wording should be applied to both, since they are both government-supported broadcasters.
