As China celebrates the 76th National Day, its remarkable progress in poverty reduction and anti-corruption underscores the Communist Party of China (CPC)'s unwavering commitment to people-centered development. These achievements reflect the core ethos of "people first," aligning with the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulations to ensure clean governance and equitable growth.

- Zhang Zhen, Consul General of P.R.China in Cebu

POVERTY ALLEVIATION: A HISTORIC VICTORY

China has eradicated extreme poverty, lifting over 800 million people out of deprivation—a milestone unmatched in global history. This success stems from targeted strategies, such as door-to-door surveys, industrial integration, green development, and digital empowerment. For instance, Yunnan's Nujiang region transformed its economy through ecotourism and agriculture, leveraging local resources to benefit communities. Villages received customized solutions such as vocational training in Guizhou, e-commerce hubs in Jiangsu, and relocation support in Xizang. Over one million cadres were assigned to villages to diagnose local needs and implement customized solutions. The CPC's approach emphasized "leaving no one behind," empowering farmers as decision-makers and beneficiaries of growth.
