China to end poverty by 2022

The government has for the past decades been lifting Chinese communities out of poverty, especially in rural areas by building subsidised housing, and in some cases relocating others to areas that have access to services.

The intention of the government, which has encouraged sustainable poverty alleviation by encouraging and providing land for farming to mostly poverty-stricken residents, is to see the poor people and poor areas entering the moderately prosperous society together with the rest of the country before 2022.
