China has achieved its target of eliminating absolute poverty ten years ahead of the deadline proposed by the United Nations
On February 25, President Xi Jinping announced the end of absolute poverty in China. This was an incredibly difficult achievement. The World Bank commended the achievement and highlighted the fact that China’s contribution to the global effort to end extreme poverty is 70 percent. China achieved the target 10 years before the deadline prescribed under the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. China is celebrating the triumph. President Xi has distributed appreciation medals among the heroes of the fight against poverty. The world is admiring China. It is also wondering how this miracle happened.
While some of the recommendations are focused on what the city can do within its own operations, others are focused on advocating for additional supports from the provincial and federal governments, Coun. Murry Krause said. Krause was the chairperson of the select committee, and represented city council on the committee along with Coun. Cori Ramsay. The City of Prince George can t take on the whole challenge of poverty reduction alone, Krause said. In addition to an online survey, running Feb. 11 to March 19, the community engagement process will include efforts to engage with people currently accessing shelters in the city or who otherwise have barriers to participating in an online survey, Brown said.
