Five years after ending extreme poverty, what comes next for China?

Five years ago, China declared that it had achieved a complete victory in its fight against extreme poverty. Since then, the country has entered a five-year transition period focused on consolidating those achievements and advancing a broader rural revitalization strategy.

Policies will remain generally stable while support will shift toward enhancing local industries, expanding employment and strengthening social security systems.
