BEIJING, March 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Overseas Experts on China's Poverty Alleviation, a book planned by China National Publications Import and Export (Group) Co., Ltd. and published by Flieder-Verlag GmbH, is shedding light on China's efforts in poverty reduction.
China's poverty alleviation has attracted worldwide attention since the course started. After 2012, in China, there's one person lifted out of poverty every 2.24 seconds. At the end of 2020, China officially announced that it achieved poverty alleviation in an all-round way, which was widely lauded in the world.
In Overseas Experts on China's Poverty Alleviation, eight foreign scholars expatiate on their views from various perspectives via field investigation of poor areas in China and research on China's poverty-alleviation policies. The book provides new ideas for developing countries to seek their own economic development and valuable precedent for the cause of global poverty alleviation.
Martin Albrow, Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences, the United Kingdom, writes the preface for the book. He states that in the last 50 years, China has established a model in dealing with domestic economy and helping people overcome poverty. China makes tremendous achievements in development. Contemporary China forms a sharp contrast to its backward condition, and its victory in poverty alleviation boasts "a new world miracle".
Yury Tavrovsky, Professor at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, observes that China's victory in poverty alleviation in an all-round way possesses great significance for other countries that pursue high-quality development. As a Chinese idiom suggests, "it's better to teach fishing than to offer fish". He emphasizes that the Communist Party of China gives priority to human society rather than ideology or economic system in terms of development.
Mr. Stephan Petermann, advisor of Dutch Creative Industries Fund, remarks that as a model for other countries, China saves countless people from poverty, death and hunger. By conducting on-site surveys, the author displays the rural scene in which diligent Chinese transform the old villages into new villages, with an entirely new look and an invigorating atmosphere.
Kim Seung il, Professor at Dong-A University in South Korea, believes that China's poverty-alleviation work shifts from assistance-based poverty alleviation to development-oriented poverty alleviation, which is recognized as a model by global poverty-eradication organizations.
The English edition was published by Flieder-Verlag GmbH in September 2021, and its Chinese edition was published by Guangming Daily Press in December 2021.
