China s success in reducing poverty within its borders in recent decades can stand out as an example for other countries that seek to alleviate poverty, analysts have said.
China s fast-growing economy has lifted nearly 100 million rural residents above poverty line over the last eight years, reaching the United Nations (UN) poverty eradication target for 2030 nearly ten years ahead of schedule, according to a recent report released by New China Research, the think tank of Xinhua News Agency.
The achievement has won praise from around the world. Qu Dongyu, director-general of the Rome-based United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), offered his warmest congratulations to the government and people of China for reaching the UN anti-poverty goal.

ROME, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) The director-general of the Rome-based United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on Friday said the coronavirus pandemic has illustrated the need for the world to strengthen agriculture and food systems.
Qu Dongyu, a former vice-minister of China s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs who has led FAO since 2019, said his organization was prepared to support the global effort to develop what he called a new path for improving the sustainability of agriculture and food systems.
He mentioned an array of FAO-sponsored programs that could bolster the process, including the agency s COVID-19 Response and Recovery Program, a partnership project, and its Hand-in-Hand Initiative, which aims to accelerate agricultural transformation and sustainable rural development.
