Absolute poverty can be ended only after rural areas are revitalized

China Daily  

Liu Dexing thins grapes at a plantation in Xianghuan village of Fu'an city, Fujian province, in May. Now that China is close to eliminating absolute poverty in rural areas, one question is often asked: What are the future plans for rural areas? In 2018, the central government released the 2018-22 National Rural Revitalization Strategy Plan detailing dozens of important requirements, from strengthening village governance to protecting farmlands and enforcing the law. But to me, the document's focus on establishing industries in villages and towns is key to rural China's sustainable development and to ensure people don't slip into poverty. Only when China's vast rural area is revitalized and all the farmers have decent jobs, be it in a village or city, can rural poverty be eradicated once and for all.
