Here’s a good short documentary on it: China’s war on poverty

The CPC made it a goal to eradicate extreme poverty in China. China’s rapid development caused a growing rift between urban areas and rural areas, so the CPC used the gains of urban expansion to help develop rural areas. Extreme poverty was eradicated in China over the course of a decade or so from the beginning of the program. I really like The Metamorphosis of Yuangudui to show what that campaign actually looked like in practice, sending CPC cadres to set up village councils, create democratic processes and build up infrastructure.

A quick definition of terms: What Does It Mean to Eradicate Absolute Poverty? (There are more links in this article in the “Further Readings” section)

And here is a bullet point timeline: China’s Poverty Alleviation: Two Phases

Some highlights for Phase II (Targeted Poverty Alleviation):

—From 2013 to 2015, China allocated 24.78 billion yuan ($3.78 billion) to extend power grids to areas without electricity, benefiting some 1.55 million people. By the end of 2015, China had achieved full electricity coverage for its entire population.

—In April 2014, the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development issued a work plan on the registration of the poor population, mobilizing millions of grassroots cadres across the country to carry out poverty identification. During the process, 128,000 villages, 29.32 million households, and 89.62 million people were identified as poor, according to national standards and procedures on poverty reduction. A database was established for every single impoverished person.

An important implementation note: China Assigned a Government Official to Every Poor Family. So there was always a specific person accountable for every single poor family’s progress.

—In February 2018, the number of rural people living in poverty had dropped from 98.99 million at the end of 2012 to 30.46 million at the end of 2017, and 68.53 million people had been lifted out of poverty in the past five years, a reduction of about 70 percent.

—Huang Wenxiu, who led the poverty-alleviation efforts in a village in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, died in a rain-induced flash flood on June 17, 2019, at the age of 30.

Over the past eight years, over 1,500 poverty-alleviation cadres in the country had died in the battle against poverty.

Note: I highly recommend the TV series Daughter of the Mountains which tells Huang Wenxiu’s story, it also illustrates how targeted poverty alleviation worked at the lowest level.

—In October 2020, China’s Tibet Autonomous Region accomplished the historical feat of eradicating absolute poverty. By the end of 2019, Tibet had lifted 628,000 people out of poverty and removed 74 county-level areas from the poverty list.

—In November 2020, China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, with over 25 million people of various ethnic groups, bid farewell to absolute poverty, with the last 10 impoverished counties managing to end absolute poverty.

-More than 90% of registered poor received support for employment or technical training.

-More than two-thirds of poor population shook off poverty by migrant working and developing industries.

-22 provinces in central and western China identified 116,000 poverty alleviation products.

-Over 19 million poor patients received treatment. Nearly 10 million households who were impoverished by illness have been lifted out of poverty.

Bureaucrats are assigned some of the poorest families and their ability to get a raise depends on improving the income of those families.

they give money and resources to poor people. and it alleviates them.

Lmao no trade? Good luck

Look, if you haven’t already achieved complete global control of the means of production then given it to the workers and the global commune is hegemonic and intergalactic communism is the norm, can you even call yourself a “leftist”? Sounds like LIBERALISM to me!

At this point it’s absurd to even talk about this, there are a bazillion videos in YouTube of foreigners traveling through xinjiang, just watch a handful of them and make your own conclusions.

I’ll start with the easiest one, microplastics. The reality is that China is at the forefront of ecological advancement and green energy, electrification, combatting desertification, and more. They also produce the world’s goodies, while their own consumption is far more green than most countries. Western countries built by colonialism, imperialism, and neocolonialism can produce more green, using these spoils, but the bulk of their consumption comes from developing countries. In essence, the per capita “climate cost” is higher in the west than in China.

As for claims of genocide, these are false. The best and most comprehensive resource I have seen so far is Qiao Collective’s Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation. Qiao Collective is a group of Chinese diaspora living in the west, and they compiled an extremely comprehensive write-up of the entire background of the events, the timeline of reports, and real and fake claims. The majority of their sourcing is western, and they cite official Chinese government writing and white papers when relevant. Uyghur culture is preserved.

I also recommend reading the UN report as well as (especially) China’s response to it, which eclipses it in size and detail. These are the most relevant accusations and responses without delving into straight up fantasy like Adrian Zenz, Christian nationalist and professional propagandist for the Victims of Communism Foundation, does. Zenz’ work has been thoroughly discredited, yet is supported by western media for its utility in fearmongering. An example is lying about 8.7% of new IUDs as 80%, to back up claims of “forced sterilization,” from this chart:

The vast majority of the population supports their government, actually, because they are treated very well. Over 90% of the population supports the CPC. NIRA data’s latest polling found China to be one of the more comprehensively democratic countries in the world as seen by its own population:

You seem to have a very narrow view of China that doesn’t actually correspond to material reality, but instead liberal, western perception as an outsider.

No they aren’t, the US is just butthurt at losing so we’re using the same old atrocity propaganda playbook as usual

“If this is about China bad, I’ll listen”

“If this is about China Good I won’t engage”

And the world is black and it’s white

Can you give me good and reliable sources on this genocide that china has been said to commit for years? Or simply explain what you believe is happening there so I can look it up further myself? I’m not baiting you I’m genuinely interested

its not about good or bad its about justification for US to bomb china it always is
