I'm Robert Lawrence Kuhn. I have been watching China for more than 30 years and a people centered philosophy has always been at the foundation of CPC's policies. While all countries advocate helping their people, especially with development, in China one can trace the people centered philosophy directly to specific policy initiatives. Two of the most prominent are the Targeted Anti-Poverty Campaign, which eliminated all extreme poverty in 2020, and Common Prosperity, brought prominent in early 2021, as a guiding principle to reverse the economically divisive side effects of rapid development. A key component of Common Prosperity is rural vitalization, which intends to bring standards of living in rural areas close up to those in urban areas.
