What strikes me in the first 5 minutes is that China defined "out of poverty" not just by income, but also access to food, clothing, safe shelter, medical service, and education. In comparison, income seems a relatively minor expense to the rest. It's so much more than just handing out money to the poor.
Also access to job and/or business opportunity. Many of these people were able to get job training and then employment. Some got to start a small business with government aids and training as well.
Poverty is an evil cycle. Any alleviation needs to have safety net and progression to ensure the people do not fall back into poverty. Its not a sprint, its a marathon.
My father was a mechanic on the Mitchell B-25 light bomber during WWII and was stationed in Kunming, China, so I grew up with his stories and photographs of China. He had the highest respect for the Chinese people! Their airfield would be bombed and until the huge bomb craters would be repaired the planes could not takeoff or land. He said the teamwork of the Chinese people was incredible in making the repairs quickly. He also said that the people had very little but would share what they had with them, eggs being like gold. China knows the value of teamwork, as can be seen today on the pandemic. I took several classes on China in college too. It was wonderful to see the launch of China's space station. Terrific interview!

As a young man i first travelled into China in 1979 I saw extreme poverty firsthand. Food was rationed and social mobility was almost nonexistent. I witness the transformation of China as a businessman based in Hong Kong regularly travelling into Shenzhen which was a tiny backwater fishing community of around 100,000 poor people across the border in China . There is no better example of the incredible achievement of the Chinese people and their leadership than Shenzhen. It’s now a ultra modern metropolis of 13m people and one of the wealthiest city in the world . To witness it in real time as I did still feels unreal to me not only have they lifted 800million people out of poverty but has elevated 300m people into middle class the size of the population of the USA . They can now travel into every corner of China on high speed trains , purchase every product know to man mostly made by them ! They have basic universal healthcare for all their citizens , educational system that improves year on year , they care for their elderly better with great support systems that keeps them active and engaged in a fast changing society . I have seen many incredible events in my 70yrs but the rise of China by far the single most significant event . The peaceful manner of their rise something that we should all learn from .

China whatever its downsides has done so well and so far it has done so without colonisation just through sheer hard work, innovation , great planning and brilliant execution.
We've already heard cheers for China "opening up" to Western capital. Dismantling agricultural communes was great? Emerging sweatshops was great? Billionaires then doing charity is great? Oh, it's just "modernization". Well, it's capitalist modernization on the ruins of socialist modernization. What's the most revealing is that they don't talk about the economic and political struggles of Chinese workers at all. They don't care. They're on the side of the Chinese bourgeoisie.
Thank you, Rania, for another great discussion on a very important topic! I've fall in love with you and your channel. Thank you, Tings, for sharing your knowledge, insights and stories. I think the audience deserves the facts. I'm a Chinese who completed college in China and got my PhD in the US. Now I'm a scientist and I live in the US full time (for the last 21 years). I still have a lot of family and friends in China. Speaking of poverty and the changes in China for the last few decades, I happen to have the first hand experience. I grew up in a rural village and I still remember how poor we were when I grew up. And I'm the youngest child in the family. When school starts, sometimes my parents had to borrow 20, 50 cents from neighbors in order to buy me pencils and notepads. We didn't have a telephone at home even when I was in college. Now, my 85 years old mom uses a 5g smartphone to play with tiktok and video chat with me. She lives in a big house with pretty much everything, from refrigerator, A/C, to natural gas stove, solar heated shower... etc. Every time when I go back to visit, I feel that all my college buddies are wealthier than me - because they all work hard and China is full of opportunities. Nobody that I know of could deny that their living standards have improved multiple-folds in the last 20 years! Oh, did I mention that everybody in my village now have free healthcare from the government and you will get a monthly check from the government when you reach 55 years of age - kind of like suicidal security here in the States. The check gets bigger even you get older. Most of the families in my village have access to private cars too... I could go on and on and on, but you should have some ideas now. Lastly, I want to mention that China did all that in a very short period of time without stealing or robbing the wealth from any other countries. It's pure hard-work and determination!!! Go China!
That explain why the US and many of the western countries are jealous/fearful of China and are working overtime to belittle and demonise China's incredible achievements. China's success at socialism threatens the capitalist system that is going through societal failures and possible collapse of the capitalist system.
@@spadeysay6846 remember china was the have not, most of the west are the have. China with 1.4 people moving toward the have which make the have share if the pie smaller thus the conflict. If china just stay poor nobody would give a crap about what is happening in china.
Thank you Rania and Tings. It is indeed refreshing to see someone who can recognise and understand the difference between a workers state and a capitalist one.
Congratulations and thanks to Rania for inviting Tings for such an intellectual and informative discussion. Great job. 👍👍👍 The way China has uplifted 850 millions of its citizens out of poverty into the biggest middle-class in the world is just amazing and unprecedented, and ought to be commended by all. In over 40 years, China had been transformed from a dirt poor country into the second largest global economy and now a leader in technological developments and innovations, including space technology is simply incredible and amazing. To me this reflects the Chinese government’s respect for human rights of its people; and the achievements of the Chinese government and Chinese people should be applauded and celebrated by the global community. Blessings from Malaysia.

It's just incredible what the Chinese people accomplished. Just imagine what this would mean for the people living in Africa and others in the global south.
This is the purpose of Chna's "Belt and Road" initiative. Via trade and investment to raise the living standards of the Global South without turning these countries into "debt" slaves. For example, China receives raw materials and food and the other country get infrastructure and knowledge to modernize it's economy. A win win situation without turning these countries into debt slaves (i.e. World Bank and IMF).

The most important thing that I like about China and Russia is that the capitalists aren't controlling the government. In the western world, the capitalists have too much power over the government. In Russia of the 1990s, the Oligarchy capitalists were dictating to the government of Boris Yeltsin, that ended with the coming of Vladimir Putin.
Instead, they have one crazy person controlling it instead of a checks and balance. There is allot happening behind China's border that they are not telling. Everything in this video is coming from the Chinese government not actual free journalist in that country.
I was just thinking the same thing, Two young beautiful ladies discussing interesting and smart topics with maturity. Try THAT with American females, you'll get a very different Speech.
@Otto Ginofiel He isn't scoffing at freedom. He put it in quotes because he's talking about capitalism's illusion of freedom. Here's a quote to sum up what I mean- "It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper."
"Materialism" as being understood under Communist thought is pragmatic, logical, quantitative, scientific, and empirical worldview and way of thinking, understanding, and decision-making.
@Otto Ginofiel "Freedom," not FREEDOM. Solipsistic inconsequence vs material agency. Unless you are a pro-gun theo-constitutionalist like the classical Han, namely the guy behind my username, civil libertarians like you have no substantive convictions upon which to discredit the free (and competent) exercise of hard-won state power.
China’s long term poverty program would be very difficult to be replicated in other countries bc most countries have government change every 4 to 5 years. Moreover, the ruling political party or parties normally do not have millions & millions of dedicated members who would give up their comfortable livelihood to work in the rural & poor region in the country for a long period of time. In addition, conflicts between different political, tribal, race & religious groups would be one of the biggest hinderance to administer this long term social program.
Each time a government changes, the policy changes. The US regime is the most consistent. Their policy is constant. Their priority is to spend more money on their offense budget when homeless number keeps increasing. They are still stuck with their slow choo choo train.
I would add that its impossible to be replicated in other countries, esp those whose basic culture and basic values are so different from that of China.
If the permanent state is able to maintain the same foreign policy for 70 plus years then surely it should be possible to maintain a social domestic program aswell. Problem is, they don't want to
@@chinhuattan They will set a policy. You're fined for breaking the law. If you can't pay the money, you'll be thrown into prison. Prisons in the United States are already a business, privately managed.
If you want more 'nuts and bolts', search for a TV-series called "MinNing Town", it's on TH-cam. It's based on real stories. MinNing Town is one of the poverty alleviation projects conducted between the very impoverished Ningxia region and the rich coastal Fujian province. (It's one of the East-West development cooperation projects Tings was talking about in the video.) The series talked about their failures, their struggles, and their final success getting out of poverty after years of hardwork. It's very informative. Highly recommend!
For further watches, CGTN has countless hundreds of reports and documentaries which is partially compiled in their playlist "Zero Poverty by 2020", one of them is a joint-produced documentary with PBS "China's War on Poverty". Unfortunately, a lot of bitter people just don't want everyone to see all these gargantuan achievements coming from China😔 Numerous videos have been reported and taken down or copy-striked, for example my favorite "Up and Out of Poverty", a whole 7-episodes (hour-long) documentary series that brings a larger picture how the Communist Party under Xi's command is implementing the poverty eradication policy by the start of 2012, which I haven't finished it yet. You can still watch them all via website or app, at least.
Also another my favorite series is a 13-episodes docu-series from a local Chinese TV channel about poverty alleviation efforts in Xinjiang, uploaded to YT by a channel Real Xinjiang. Again, it's unavailable now because the channel got taken down😔
@@directxxxx71 You're not alone... Just don't try to learn Mandarin through that series, they speak a dialect most Chinese from other regions don't even understand (need subtitles)😜
Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

Great conversation ladies, thanks! In today’s world it needs courage to speak the truth, especially the truth about China. so hat off to you both ladies!
You are both to be congratulated. You presented the most concise and brilliant talk, not only on poverty, but on how China defines it and is quickly eliminating it. I Learned a hell of a lot, many thanks ladies!
Outstanding. Hope the CCP can continue to make good progress in its social and economic development. Hopefully with this continue progress, China can provide assistance to other underdevelop country in its economic development, in fair and equal term.
@@_._._._._._._._._._._._._.____ China has been providing so much help to Africa and other parts of Asia and the Middle East that the US is afraid that these countries that China has been helping would one day compete against the US in the future for economic and social status. That's why the US has been spending billions of dollars hiring terrorists to blow up Chinese engineers who are working in foreign countries to build roads, highways, railroads, dams, hospitals, schools, etc. It has always been the US's policies to keep other countries down so that it would always stand alone at the top! China developing itself and other countries have threatened that goal of the the US and that's why the US hates China so much!
Great interview, pertinent questions from Rania. Tings knows her stuff. Simply TH-cam: China poverty alleviation and you get numerous videos on this subject - fascinating stories. 💡
The US went in the exact opposite direction. We had eradicated extreme poverty, but then chose to reverse course in the Reagan-to-Clinton years. In the US, extreme poverty is back, and we choose to ignore it. So, as the West sinks, the East rises.
That's why as a Canadian I never voted Conservative. Conservative party of Canada seems to think that it will be better off for Canada to be more like the US. Specific policies might differ from generations, but ever since Brian Mulroney, the Cons of Canada has had their spirit attached to being an American posse.
The US NEVER eradicated poverty....... The reason is that after WW2 it was very easy for the US to go around the world murdering and stealing because many countries were in bad shape politically and financially Done in collusion with the IMF and the WORLD BANK... AND IT KEPT African and other countries in the DEBT TRAP.. .IT DID NOTHING TO HELP DEVELOP OTHER COUNTRIES... I KNOW OF THIS PERSONALLY BECAUSE IN 1963/1964 I HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MEMBERS OF THE US PEACE CORPS.... AT THAT TIME I DID NOT PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THEIR AGENDA......
Wow! Two great beauties talk about the great success of the China's achievement lifting extreme poverty. How can you top that! You two ladies just made my day.
Africa has learnt alot from the China and the friendship will be for along time coming, the Chinese government seem to be genuine in their friendship and we can see the vast results.
unfortunately because of one man Xi,,China is slipping back into poverty ,See all the millions of workers who havnt been paid for year and the foriegn companies who no longer trust China
There are two excellent Chinese dramas in Chinese on eradication extreme poverty. They are "Soma Blossom" and "金色索玛花". Both dramas cover many real world challenges faced by working with people lived in the poor villages. It is a daunting task and takes China a decade to tackle them successfully in 2020. Congratulations China.
As a Chinese, Talk about my personal opinion。To get rid of poverty, we must build roads，Convenient transportation, connecting all parts of the country。Must create a working environment for the people，Rich areas help poor areas，Let everyone go to school for free and receive 9 years of compulsory education。Local leaders need to help local people help the poor，Chinese officials are gradually promoted at the grassroots level。This is what our country is doing now
Only China can undertake such massive task ... All CCP party official must unite to work toward this goal and no political bickering . Thanks to both of you bringing some insight in poverty alleviation.
As China tries to help the poor, the UK government have started to increases taxes on the working class and try to create more inequality. This shows you which system is more fair.
Great discussion. I really appreciated the insight from someone who are familiar with our societies in NA and being able to speak to the experience/learning of the system/society in China. This sounds so much more objective than most of the narratives in other mainstream media. It is quite an achievement what China has done. No system is perfect.
The death trap was implemented by the west for the past six decades or more. This is discussed in the book titled "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", it is written by John Perkins. He also discussed it in a video on YT.
true, but that policy predates the career of John Perkins by many, many decades. Major General Smedley Butler blew the whistle after he retired from the US Marines, when he revealed his leading role in the corruption or overthrow of many governments on three continents, (especially throughout Latin America), in his 1935 book, "War is a Racket". At the time, he was was the most decorated soldier in US history, thanks to that role.
I stumbled on this show and watched the whole. After a year of following China poverty alleviation, I am attached to this issue and hope the world follows it as an example, no matter what the Western media said negatively about China. Everything the US bashing China, the Americans have done it all and still doing it.
Thank you Rania calling Tings I wish I could borrow you twos brain even atleast for minutes so I would be blessed. Brilliant ladies like you two will definitely bring differences in the world. Please bring Respectable professor Keyu Jin in your interview. I request please make interview more longer. God blessing you always to both of you. Biggest salute and highest respect and regards.

China whatever its downsides has done so well and so far it has done so without colonisation just through sheer hard work, innovation , great planning and brilliant execution.
We've already heard cheers for China "opening up" to Western capital. Dismantling agricultural communes was great? Emerging sweatshops was great? Billionaires then doing charity is great? Oh, it's just "modernization". Well, it's capitalist modernization on the ruins of socialist modernization. What's the most revealing is that they don't talk about the economic and political struggles of Chinese workers at all. They don't care. They're on the side of the Chinese bourgeoisie.

Thank you, Rania, for another great discussion on a very important topic! I've fall in love with you and your channel. Thank you, Tings, for sharing your knowledge, insights and stories. I think the audience deserves the facts. I'm a Chinese who completed college in China and got my PhD in the US. Now I'm a scientist and I live in the US full time (for the last 21 years). I still have a lot of family and friends in China. Speaking of poverty and the changes in China for the last few decades, I happen to have the first hand experience. I grew up in a rural village and I still remember how poor we were when I grew up. And I'm the youngest child in the family. When school starts, sometimes my parents had to borrow 20, 50 cents from neighbors in order to buy me pencils and notepads. We didn't have a telephone at home even when I was in college. Now, my 85 years old mom uses a 5g smartphone to play with tiktok and video chat with me. She lives in a big house with pretty much everything, from refrigerator, A/C, to natural gas stove, solar heated shower... etc. Every time when I go back to visit, I feel that all my college buddies are wealthier than me - because they all work hard and China is full of opportunities. Nobody that I know of could deny that their living standards have improved multiple-folds in the last 20 years! Oh, did I mention that everybody in my village now have free healthcare from the government and you will get a monthly check from the government when you reach 55 years of age - kind of like suicidal security here in the States. The check gets bigger even you get older. Most of the families in my village have access to private cars too... I could go on and on and on, but you should have some ideas now. Lastly, I want to mention that China did all that in a very short period of time without stealing or robbing the wealth from any other countries. It's pure hard-work and determination!!! Go China!

That explain why the US and many of the western countries are jealous/fearful of China and are working overtime to belittle and demonise China's incredible achievements. China's success at socialism threatens the capitalist system that is going through societal failures and possible collapse of the capitalist system.
@@spadeysay6846 remember china was the have not, most of the west are the have. China with 1.4 people moving toward the have which make the have share if the pie smaller thus the conflict. If china just stay poor nobody would give a crap about what is happening in china.
Thank you Rania and Tings. It is indeed refreshing to see someone who can recognise and understand the difference between a workers state and a capitalist one.
Congratulations and thanks to Rania for inviting Tings for such an intellectual and informative discussion. Great job. 👍👍👍
The way China has uplifted 850 millions of its citizens out of poverty into the biggest middle-class in the world is just amazing and unprecedented, and ought to be commended by all.
In over 40 years, China had been transformed from a dirt poor country into the second largest global economy and now a leader in technological developments and innovations, including space technology is simply incredible and amazing.
To me this reflects the Chinese government’s respect for human rights of its people; and the achievements of the Chinese government and Chinese people should be applauded and celebrated by the global community.

It's a joy watching these two intelligent women discuss this interesting subject. Well done.

It's just incredible what the Chinese people accomplished. Just imagine what this would mean for the people living in Africa and others in the global south.
This is the purpose of Chna's "Belt and Road" initiative. Via trade and investment to raise the living standards of the Global South without turning these countries into "debt" slaves. For example, China receives raw materials and food and the other country get infrastructure and knowledge to modernize it's economy. A win win situation without turning these countries into debt slaves (i.e. World Bank and IMF).

The most important thing that I like about China and Russia is that the capitalists aren't controlling the government. In the western world, the capitalists have too much power over the government. In Russia of the 1990s, the Oligarchy capitalists were dictating to the government of Boris Yeltsin, that ended with the coming of Vladimir Putin.
Very true. Russia is blessed to have Putin come in at the right time. If not Russia would have been a worse basket case than the time of BY.
Instead, they have one crazy person controlling it instead of a checks and balance. There is allot happening behind China's border that they are not telling. Everything in this video is coming from the Chinese government not actual free journalist in that country.
Thank you Rania...good work. I'm always stunned by people in the U.S. that somehow cannot shake their 'old/existing' views of China.
Two very impressive minds in a great discussion. It’s way more sophisticated than most other programs. Well done to the both of you!

Materialism over empty platitudes about “freedom” and “democracy”.
@Otto Ginofiel He isn't scoffing at freedom. He put it in quotes because he's talking about capitalism's illusion of freedom. Here's a quote to sum up what I mean-
"It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper."
"Materialism" as being understood under Communist thought is pragmatic, logical, quantitative, scientific, and empirical worldview and way of thinking, understanding, and decision-making.
Simply different than often idealist and hedonistic, Western understanding of materialism.
@Otto Ginofiel "Freedom," not FREEDOM. Solipsistic inconsequence vs material agency. Unless you are a pro-gun theo-constitutionalist like the classical Han, namely the guy behind my username, civil libertarians like you have no substantive convictions upon which to discredit the free (and competent) exercise of hard-won state power.
@Otto Ginofiel get schooled son
China’s long term poverty program would be very difficult to be replicated in other countries bc most countries have government change every 4 to 5 years. Moreover, the ruling political party or parties normally do not have millions & millions of dedicated members who would give up their comfortable livelihood to work in the rural & poor region in the country for a long period of time. In addition, conflicts between different political, tribal, race & religious groups would be one of the biggest hinderance to administer this long term social program.
And so we see that we can benefit by adopting some or all of China’s aspects which enable the ending of poverty.
Each time a government changes, the policy changes. The US regime is the most consistent. Their policy is constant. Their priority is to spend more money on their offense budget when homeless number keeps increasing. They are still stuck with their slow choo choo train.
I would add that its impossible to be replicated in other countries, esp those whose basic culture and basic values are so different from that of China.
If the permanent state is able to maintain the same foreign policy for 70 plus years then surely it should be possible to maintain a social domestic program aswell. Problem is, they don't want to
@@chinhuattan They will set a policy. You're fined for breaking the law. If you can't pay the money, you'll be thrown into prison. Prisons in the United States are already a business, privately managed.
Great interview Rania. Much appreciated. Tings was a fabulous guess and well informed.

Wow! Another great guest, Rania. It is very informative to hear about all the 'nuts and bolts' of poverty alleviation.
If you want more 'nuts and bolts', search for a TV-series called "MinNing Town", it's on TH-cam. It's based on real stories. MinNing Town is one of the poverty alleviation projects conducted between the very impoverished Ningxia region and the rich coastal Fujian province. (It's one of the East-West development cooperation projects Tings was talking about in the video.) The series talked about their failures, their struggles, and their final success getting out of poverty after years of hardwork. It's very informative. Highly recommend!
For further watches, CGTN has countless hundreds of reports and documentaries which is partially compiled in their playlist "Zero Poverty by 2020", one of them is a joint-produced documentary with PBS "China's War on Poverty". Unfortunately, a lot of bitter people just don't want everyone to see all these gargantuan achievements coming from China😔
Numerous videos have been reported and taken down or copy-striked, for example my favorite "Up and Out of Poverty", a whole 7-episodes (hour-long) documentary series that brings a larger picture how the Communist Party under Xi's command is implementing the poverty eradication policy by the start of 2012, which I haven't finished it yet. You can still watch them all via website or app, at least.
Also another my favorite series is a 13-episodes docu-series from a local Chinese TV channel about poverty alleviation efforts in Xinjiang, uploaded to YT by a channel Real Xinjiang. Again, it's unavailable now because the channel got taken down😔
@@KK-xi7vh This series really good at the same time, I just literally cried many times..
@@directxxxx71 You're not alone... Just don't try to learn Mandarin through that series, they speak a dialect most Chinese from other regions don't even understand (need subtitles)😜
Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
A 2022 Northwestern Mutual study found that 75% of U.S. adults admit their financial planning needs improvement. However, only 29% of Americans work with a financial advisor.

Outstanding. Hope the CCP can continue to make good progress in its social and economic development. Hopefully with this continue progress, China can provide assistance to other underdevelop country in its economic development, in fair and equal term.
Don't "hope" for some imaginary "fair and equal" assistance from China, take advantage of all kinds of economic investments and do it yourself.
Not CCP it is the CPC ....only imperialists call it the CCP ....
they are already providing assistance. Afganistan is already receiving aid and reconstruction from China
@@_._._._._._._._._._._._._.____ China has been providing so much help to Africa and other parts of Asia and the Middle East that the US is afraid that these countries that China has been helping would one day compete against the US in the future for economic and social status. That's why the US has been spending billions of dollars hiring terrorists to blow up Chinese engineers who are working in foreign countries to build roads, highways, railroads, dams, hospitals, schools, etc. It has always been the US's policies to keep other countries down so that it would always stand alone at the top! China developing itself and other countries have threatened that goal of the the US and that's why the US hates China so much!
CHINA HAS BEEN DOING JUST THAT, THRU ITS BRI INITIATIVES IN AFRICA N ELSEWEHERE IN THE WORLD.

Great interview from two very intelligent and elegant ladies. Thanks!
This was excellent, so informative, thank you both.
The US went in the exact opposite direction. We had eradicated extreme poverty, but then chose to reverse course in the Reagan-to-Clinton years. In the US, extreme poverty is back, and we choose to ignore it. So, as the West sinks, the East rises.
That's why as a Canadian I never voted Conservative. Conservative party of Canada seems to think that it will be better off for Canada to be more like the US. Specific policies might differ from generations, but ever since Brian Mulroney, the Cons of Canada has had their spirit attached to being an American posse.
The US NEVER eradicated poverty....... The reason is that after WW2 it was very easy for the US to go around the world murdering and stealing because many countries were in bad shape politically and financially Done in collusion with the IMF and the WORLD BANK... AND IT KEPT African and other countries in the DEBT TRAP.. .IT DID NOTHING TO HELP DEVELOP OTHER COUNTRIES... I KNOW OF THIS PERSONALLY BECAUSE IN 1963/1964 I HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MEMBERS OF THE US PEACE CORPS.... AT THAT TIME I DID NOT PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THEIR AGENDA......
So true!
Clinton economy policy created 14 millions new jobs created 5 millions new millionaire surplus yes agreed with u
Excellent interview!
Not only in China but most poverty reduction around the world should also be attributed to China either directly or indirectly.
SPECIALLY IN AFRICA WHERE THE BRI INFRASTRUCUTES R HAVING POSITIVE IMPACT ON IMPROVING LIFE OF THE AFRICANS.
This is why I Love Socialism with chinese characteristics.
I think it would be fair to say as well that China has lifted countries populations where it has infrastructure partnerships out of poverty as well.
VERY TRUE. THAT IS WHAT THE BRI PROJECTS HAS BEEN DOING.
Wow! Two great beauties talk about the great success of the China's achievement lifting extreme poverty. How can you top that! You two ladies just made my day.
Really enjoy this video!

Africa has learnt alot from the China and the friendship will be for along time coming, the Chinese government seem to be genuine in their friendship and we can see the vast results.
Great interview and analysis of the situation in China, The guest is very intelligent and well inform 🙏🏿
Lifting 850 million out of poverty is like lifting Europe and the US out of poverty
unfortunately because of one man Xi,,China is slipping back into poverty ,See all the millions of workers who havnt been paid for year and the foriegn companies who no longer trust China
There are two excellent Chinese dramas in Chinese on eradication extreme poverty. They are "Soma Blossom" and "金色索玛花". Both dramas cover many real world challenges faced by working with people lived in the poor villages. It is a daunting task and takes China a decade to tackle them successfully in 2020. Congratulations China.
As a Chinese, Talk about my personal opinion。To get rid of poverty, we must build roads，Convenient transportation, connecting all parts of the country。Must create a working environment for the people，Rich areas help poor areas，Let everyone go to school for free and receive 9 years of compulsory education。Local leaders need to help local people help the poor，Chinese officials are gradually promoted at the grassroots level。This is what our country is doing now

Great discussion. I really appreciated the insight from someone who are familiar with our societies in NA and being able to speak to the experience/learning of the system/society in China. This sounds so much more objective than most of the narratives in other mainstream media. It is quite an achievement what China has done. No system is perfect.
The death trap was implemented by the west for the past six decades or more. This is discussed in the book titled "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", it is written by John Perkins. He also discussed it in a video on YT.
Taiwan played the key role too throughout the world lies
true, but that policy predates the career of John Perkins by many, many decades. Major General Smedley Butler blew the whistle after he retired from the US Marines, when he revealed his leading role in the corruption or overthrow of many governments on three continents, (especially throughout Latin America), in his 1935 book, "War is a Racket".
At the time, he was was the most decorated soldier in US history, thanks to that role.
Yes, this book should be read in schools 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
To put this number into perspective: 850 million is _MORE THAN_ twice the entire population of the United States, plus Canada, combined. *TWICE.*
Thank you to China leadership throughout the years
I stumbled on this show and watched the whole. After a year of following China poverty alleviation, I am attached to this issue and hope the world follows it as an example, no matter what the Western media said negatively about China.
