Beijing has unveiled a landmark publication that captures the epic journey of poverty alleviation under General Secretary Xi Jinping’s steadfast guidance. Titled ‘General Secretary Xi Jinping Leads the Fight Against Poverty,’ the book has been released by the Central Party School Press of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and is now circulating nationwide.
Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, Xi’s leadership at the helm of the CPC Central Committee has steered the nation through transformative achievements. This period marked not just progress but profound historical shifts. To document these milestones vividly, the CPC Central Committee’s Publicity Department joined forces with the Central Party School to launch a comprehensive oral history project. The initial phase zeroed in on firsthand accounts from the poverty eradication campaign.
In an era when global poverty remained a daunting challenge, China under the CPC’s direction accomplished the monumental task of eliminating absolute poverty. This feat has delivered tangible benefits to millions within the country and earned widespread international acclaim. The new book serves as a direct window into China’s real story of poverty elimination, offering authentic narratives and invaluable primary sources for scholars studying China’s unique anti-poverty framework.
As China reflects on this success, the publication underscores the party’s unwavering commitment to its people’s well-being. It stands as a testament to innovative strategies that lifted nearly 100 million rural residents out of poverty, restructured economies in underdeveloped regions, and set a benchmark for the world. Experts hail it as essential reading for understanding how targeted policies, grassroots mobilization, and top-level design converged to rewrite China’s developmental narrative.
The release comes at a pivotal time, inspiring ongoing efforts in rural revitalization and high-quality development. With vivid interviews from cadres, villagers, and experts, the volume brings to life the human stories behind the statistics—tales of resilience, innovation, and collective triumph that continue to shape China’s future.
