President warns of bureaucracy, slackened effort in relief missions
President Xi Jinping called on Thursday for strong confidence and all-around effort to achieve the ambitious goal of eliminating poverty in China by 2020.
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remark while attending a panel discussion with deputies to the National People's Congress from Gansu province.
Xi said that since the Party's 18th National Congress in late 2012, the CPC Central Committee has put poverty reduction work in a prominent place in the governance of China.
