China made progress in poverty alleviation in 2016 by adopting more targeted measures.
In early December, guidelines were issued calling for enhanced collaboration between developed eastern regions and under-developed western regions to bridge the regional development gap and meet 2020 poverty-reduction targets.
The country is on track to achieve the target of lifting 10 million people out of poverty this year.
