China had pledged to eliminate absolute poverty by 2020, a key task in its efforts to build a relatively prosperous society in all respects.
At the end of 2019, 52 villages in northwest, south of China were still on the list of poverty: 9 in Yunnan province, 10 in the Autonomous region of Xinjiang-Wyguri, 1 in Autonom Ningxia-Hui region, 7 in Sichuan province, 8 in Autonom Guangxi-Juang region, 8 in Gansu province and 9 in Guizou province.

In the next five years, China will step up efforts for greater performance in eliminating poverty and fully promoting the village development strategy.
