China Resolute To Win Fight Against Poverty Amid Epidemic Control

The country has demonstrated strong endogenous power for poverty relief when impoverished people worked with poverty alleviation cadres to eradicate poverty and overcome the impact of the epidemic since its outbreak.

In Changxi village, Haikou, south China’s Hainan province, Wang Chuanshu and other four villagers who are out of poverty formed an anti-epidemic volunteer team. “Favorable policies have helped us shake off poverty, and now we want to contribute our part to the prevention and control of the epidemic,” Wang said.

“I stayed home for over a month during the epidemic. Thanks to the chartered buses arranged by the local government, I returned to work. I’m confident to shake off poverty this year,” said Yu Randuo from Huaping village, Lanping county, southwest China’s Yunnan province.
