He stated that all remaining regions that had been afflicted with absolute poverty have now successfully defeated it. All remaining 832 counties and over 128,000 villages in the country have been delisted from poor regions list. Over the last 8 years, China has lifted a total of 98.99 million poor people out of poverty. All people in China now have an income above the national poverty line of 4,000 yuan or over 600 US dollars. In 2010, China set the poverty line at 2,300 yuan or 2.3 US dollars per chasing power parity per person per day. This value was higher than the World Bank's poverty line at 1.9 US dollars per person per day. In 2020, this value was recalculated. Now anyone making less than 4,000 yuan per year would be considered impoverished. China has achieved the UN target of eradicating world's absolute poverty by the year 2030, a decade ahead of the schedule and before any other country. President Xi hailed this achievement as a result of the work done by the Communist Party of China government in the last 40 years since the beginning of the economic reforms in 1979. He recognized the contributions made by the thousands of carders, civilians and collectives in achieving this goal. The removal of poverty in China has meant the provision of all basic necessities to all its citizens. Besides the numerical target of eliminating poverty, the CPC has given two assurances of adequate food and adequate clothing and three guarantees of access to compulsory education, basic medical services and safe housing to all Chinese citizens. To achieve this goal, CPC set more than 3 million of its carders into poverty stricken areas of the country to help in the efforts of poverty reduction. Since 2012, the government has given the efforts of poverty reduction an extra push. China built over 1.1 million kilometers of new rural roads and provided 4G internet coverage to almost 98% of its poor villages in just 8 years. The government has also built new houses for over 25.68 million people since 2012. This includes new houses for 7.9 million impoverished households and moving over 9.6 million people to places which are more hospitable. The result was that China was able to lift around 770 million people out of poverty in the last 40 years since 1979. The number of people lifted above poverty by China is almost 70% of the total number of poor lifted out of poverty in the world in the same period. With this, President Xi said the party has achieved the goal of building a moderate cheap prosperous society in China before the first centenary of its foundation. The Communist Party of China was formed in July 1921 and the first centenary of its foundation will be celebrated this year. The CPC has set the goal of achieving a modern socialist society in China by the year 2049, the first centenary of its rule in the country.
