Guizhou Model
Guizhou was one of the main battlefields in China's fight against poverty. Sixty-six of the province's 88 counties were impoverished and about one-tenth of the country's impoverished population were in this province. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee and the Guizhou Provincial Government have embraced the people-centered poverty alleviation philosophy proposed by President Xi Jinping, adopting a targeted approach to poverty alleviation and seeking to increase people's confidence and enrich their knowledge in the process. All sectors of society were involved, and diverse paths were pursued in the province's poverty reduction endeavor. Thanks to a host of targeted and effective measures, 9.23 million impoverished people across the province were all lifted out of poverty, turning Guizhou from the province with the largest impoverished population to the best performing province in poverty reduction in the country. Guizhou has offered a model in the fight against poverty.
The reduction in Guizhou's impoverished population between 2012 and 2020 is even greater than that achieved over the past few decades. The total number of people lifted out of poverty in the province is equal to the combined impoverished population of Yemen, Iraq, Angola, South Africa, and Zambia.
In the fight against poverty, Guizhou relocated the impoverished from inhospitable areas to places with better economic prospects, the largest of such campaigns in the country. In a span of more than four years, 1.92 million people were relocated, 949 resettlement projects were built to offer 465,000 units of housing, and 907,700 relocated people were provided with employment, which means at least one person per household had a job. The large-scale relocation campaign, which was completed with such a high efficiency, is a remarkable feat in China's history of internal migration.
贵州样板
贵州是中国脱贫攻坚主战场之一。贵州88个县(市、区)中有66个是贫困县,全省贫困人口数量占全国近十分之一。中共十八大以来,贵州省委省政府认真贯彻习近平“以人民为中心”的扶贫理念,落实“以精准为原则”的扶贫方略,实施“志智同扶”的扶贫减贫行动,构建“全社会协调发力”的扶贫减贫格局和“多元路径布局”的扶贫减贫体系,通过一系列精准有效的特色战法,带领全省923万贫困人口全部脱贫,从全国贫困人口最多的省份变成全国减贫人数最多的省份,树立了中国脱贫攻坚的“省级样板”。
2012年至2020年,贵州减贫人口超过本省过去几十年减贫人口的总和,其减贫数量相当于也门、伊拉克、安哥拉、南非、赞比亚等国家现有贫困人口的总和。
在脱贫攻坚战中,贵州实行了全国最大规模的易地扶贫搬迁,将居住在生态环境脆弱地区的贫困人口搬迁出来。4年多时间,贵州累计实施易地扶贫搬迁192万人,建设易地扶贫搬迁安置项目949个、安置住房46.5万套,解决90.77万搬迁劳动力就业,实现户均一人以上就业。贵州以高效率完成大规模易地搬迁,成为中国人口迁徙史上的一个壮举。
