OVER the past 40 years since the commencement of reform and opening-up,nearly 800 million Chinese have risen above absolute poverty,accounting for more than 70 percent of the total reduction in poverty worldwide.The targeted poverty alleviation measures launched particularly in recent years have brought about tremendous changes across the country,including regions with a large presence of minority ethnic groups.Chinese people are marching closer to the goal of common development and prosperity.
