China had achieved a complete victory in its fight against extreme poverty by the end of 2020 after an eight-year nationwide poverty-eradication campaign. Colombian vlogger Fernando Munoz Bernal has lived in China for over two decades. He has ridden and driven across the country over the past four years, covering a distance of more than 150,000 kilometers. He journeyed through cities and villages, witnessing the increasingly prosperous lives of the people and the continuously improving social security system.

In this video, Fernando Munoz Bernal discusses the development of poverty alleviation policies, and explains why overall social security has improved in aspects like education, healthcare, housing and public services in China. "Not just eradicating poverty, but making sure that it never ever comes back. And that is what China means by lifting people out of poverty for good." He gives examples showing the transition from basic houses on muddy ground to modern villages with smooth roads, schools and clinics, and from coarse grain to three meals a day, “that is the ark”.
