BEIJING: President Xi Jinping urged all-out efforts to achieve the goal of eliminating poverty in China within two years during his three-day inspection tour of Chongqing.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, presided over a meeting on Tuesday on guaranteeing the people’s basic needs in food and clothing as well as access to education, medical care and safe housing.
Xi said food and clothing had been mostly guaranteed, though there were still some difficulties with access to education, medical care and safe housing.
According to China’s plan, all of the country’s rural impoverished people will be lifted out of poverty by 2020. He encouraged teachers to settle down in such regions and dedicate themselves to education in rural areas.Xi said local authorities must pay great attention to people who are still poor and those who become poor due to illness.
