Poverty to Progress: The plan’s focus on ‘targeted poverty alleviation’ lifted millions out of extreme poverty, with employment for formerly impoverished residents staying above 30 million. By July 2024, over 6 million at-risk individuals received tailored support—a model Global South nations are eager to learn from. 🌱 Hector Villagran-Cepeda, former Ecuadorian commercial counselor to China, praised the strategy as a blueprint for rural revitalization.
What’s Next? With the Communist Party of China set to outline the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) this week, the world is watching how China’s adaptive, long-term vision will shape global economic stability. From tech innovation to green energy, the next chapter promises fresh momentum for a digitally connected generation. 🚀
