China claimed last year it had lifted all its people out of extreme poverty
BEIJING - China claimed last year it had met a long-trumpeted target of lifting all its people out of extreme poverty.
President Xi Jinping heralded a major victory that the Chinese Communist Party had wanted to achieve before the centenary of its founding in 2021.
But what do the numbers say?
- What counts as poverty? -
China s poverty line is around $2.30 a day slightly above the World Bank s lowest threshold of $1.90 but below what is recommended for measuring higher income countries.
Local officials have gone door-to-door to determine who is impoverished, measuring by income, housing conditions, lack of medical insurance and whether family members drop out of school.
