At a grand gathering held in Beijing on Thursday to mark China s victory in its fight against absolute poverty, Shibadong, a Miao ethnic enclave in the central Chinese Province of Hunan, was honored for its outstanding achievements in the country s battle against penury.
It was in Shibadong, once a poverty-stricken mountainous village that China s strategy of targeted poverty alleviation was first put forward. Villagers there blazed a trail in poverty reduction and set an example for the country and the world.
That partially explains why Lao leader Bounnhang Vorachith led a high-level delegation to the village in 2018 to explore China s experience in targeted poverty alleviation, or precise on-the-ground measures to help lift the last remaining nearly 100-million people from deprivation.

The Ongoing China-aided rural water supply and rural road projects have been playing a crucial role in supporting socio-economic development and alleviating poverty in rural Cambodia, a Cambodian senior official said recently to Xinhua.
From 2017, the projects, in Phases I and II, under the management of Cambodia s Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) have been proved successful, MRD s secretary of state and spokesman Chan Darong told Xinhua in an exclusive interview.
