A report on China's poverty relief experience and its global implications has stirred heated discussions at the ongoing "two sessions," as national lawmakers and political advisors explore ways to consolidate the country's poverty reduction accomplishments.
The report -- "Chinese Poverty Alleviation Studies: A Political Economy Perspective" -- released in February by New China Research, the think tank of Xinhua News Agency, offered fresh insights into poverty reduction for many other countries, and will be beneficial for guiding China's rural vitalization drive, lawmakers and political advisors said.
"China's poverty reduction practices have gone beyond existing theories in textbooks," said Li Yuncai, a national political advisor and vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Committee of Jiusan Society, one of the eight non-Communist political parties on the Chinese mainland.
