Up and Out of Poverty
By Xi Jinping
In the past 30 years, China has lifted 700 million people out of poverty, accounting for 70 percent of the global efforts in the same period. According to Xi's report to the 19th CPC National Congress in October 2017, more than 60 million people have been lifted out of poverty over the past five years, and the poverty headcount ratio has dropped from 10.2 percent to less than 4 percent. What's the secret behind the overwhelming success of the world's largest poverty-alleviation campaign? An answer might be found in this book.
