China is the largest developing country in the world. Since its reform and opening-up, all of its people have worked together actively in poverty alleviation and have made brilliant achievements. With a high sense of responsibility, the Chinese government has been deeply involved in the campaign against poverty and has received wide praise from other developing countries.

Mahe Raoul Martin, Chairman of the Management Committee of Public Servants, Vanuatu, believes that China has demonstrated that poverty alleviation and reduction is possible through government commitment. With the challenge of achieving zero poverty in 2020 now ahead, he thinks the Chinese government is involved with a high sense of responsibility and a focus on improving every citizen’s livelihood.

She said that the remarkable results in poverty reduction could not have been achieved without the government’s efforts in system and institutional construction. The Chinese government “strives to mobilize all forces to get involved in various forms, including the education, health, financial, ecological tourism, trading and other relevant departments”, and encourages relevant enterprises to provide training so that the farmers can achieve self-employment, she added.
