There have been 153 poor counties across the country that announced poverty eradication. It is estimated that 284 poor counties will quit in 2018.

In 2018, China's three-year anti-poverty campaign got off to a good start, and the pace of anti-poverty in deep poverty areas accelerated. Among them, "three districts and three prefectures" reduced poverty by 1.34 million throughout the year, and the incidence of poverty decreased by 6.4 percentage points, 3.3 percentage points higher than the average decline in the western region. Breakthroughs were made in poverty alleviation cooperation between the eastern and western regions and in targeted poverty alleviation by central units. Among them, in 2018, nine eastern provinces and cities invested 17.7 billion yuan in financial assistance, three times the amount of the previous year; We helped 1.44 million poor people transfer jobs, 7.2 times the number of the previous year. The targeted poverty alleviation measures were implemented. Among them, 3.6 million new poverty-stricken labors were employed in the year of employment poverty alleviation; Build more than 30000 poverty alleviation workshops, and drive 770000 poor people to find jobs nearby; Health poverty alleviation has helped more than 12 million people living in poverty, and the proportion of self payment by poor patients has further decreased.

In response to the reporter's question about the quality of poverty alleviation, Ou Qingping, deputy director of the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council, introduced that China implements the most rigorous assessment and evaluation to control the quality of poverty alleviation. Poverty counties exit from special assessment and inspection, focusing on the incidence of poverty and the real situation of the exit of poor people, and taking the exit quality of poor people as an important content of assessment and evaluation. After the provincial inspection and acceptance of the exit of poor counties, the central government will also spot check 20% of the counties. The Guiding Opinions on the Triennial Action of Winning the Poverty Alleviation Campaign issued and implemented by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council also requires that 832 poverty-stricken counties should be surveyed in 2020 and 2021, focusing on the exit quality of the poverty-stricken population and the completion of the main indicators of the poverty-stricken counties in the field of basic public services. Ou Qingping introduced that the overall poverty return rate of the poor population is not high. According to the statistics of the filed cards, the number of people returning to poverty has been decreasing in recent years, from 800000 to 600000 to tens of thousands, and the wrong return rate is only 1/2%.
