Chinese Premier Li Qiang doubled down on efforts to lock in progress in poverty reduction during a recent visit to Guizhou Province. 🌍 The leader emphasized the need to “consolidate and expand achievements” in lifting communities out of hardship, signaling ongoing government action to prevent backsliding.
🚜 During his trip, Premier Li toured a residential community in Kaili City, an industrial park in Majiang County, and a vocational school in Taijiang County. These stops highlighted local strategies for sustainable growth—from job training programs to community support systems.
💡 “Continuous government support is crucial,” Li stated, stressing collaboration between authorities and residents to safeguard economic stability. His remarks come as China builds on its massive anti-poverty campaign, which lifted nearly 100 million people out of extreme need over the past decade.
📈 Analysts say the focus now shifts to creating long-term opportunities, especially in rural areas. With global inflation and supply chain shifts impacting economies worldwide, Li’s Guizhou visit underscores China’s balancing act: maintaining hard-won progress while adapting to new challenges.
