Five years after declaring victory over extreme poverty, how is China preventing a large-scale return to poverty?
In an exclusive interview with CGTN, China's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Han Jun explained how a nationwide monitoring system, stable policy support and sustained employment have helped consolidate gains.
More than 7 million at-risk individuals received timely assistance in recent years, while over 30 million people lifted out of poverty have remained steadily employed for five consecutive years.
As the five-year transition period concludes, China says it has firmly upheld the bottom line: no large-scale relapse into poverty.
