To great fanfare, Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Thursday declared his country’s “complete victory” over extreme poverty.
In an hour-long speech delivered from the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Xi said the government under his leadership has waged and won “a massive people’s war against poverty,” lifting 100 million people out of destitution. The official news agency Xinhua called the achievement the “great leap of a millennium.”
What is he going to do? Exterminate more poor people?

Uyghurs and homos excepted, not to mention dissidents and other “undesireables”
I’m certain the evil chink rat bastards are working on Covid-22.
The sequel will kill billions while our own evil, incompetent government cocksuckers worry about “feelings” of “women” with hairy balls competing with actual females.
I wish they were all dead.
I hereby declare an end to taxes.
Real women don’t have hairy balls ever.
So now they just have run-of-the-mill poverty?
izlamo delenda est …
Whenever any government entity declares an end to poverty, remember this:
The most efficient and effective way to end poverty is to eliminate the people suffering it.
Only because they’re going to be able to point at us and say look over there.

Was this a war on poverty or a genocide?
Someone once said they’re not bad folks, folks.
I was in china 12 years ago. I recall seeing the most extreme poverty I had ever witnessed:
A poor man in a vacant city lot, squatting over a small fire, heating a can of something over the flame. He was ankle deep in muck that covered most of the lot. There was a small shelter next to him, made up of scrap metal, piled in the shape of a teepee.
I doubt that kind of poverty has been eliminated in the past 12 years. The ccp just adjusted their definition of poverty.
Send the developers to California – quick
Didn’t Stalin do that in the USSR 90 years ago? Some communists are just better than others I guess.
Dr. Tar, as a regular reader I am following up on John Smiths point. Frequently the links are ‘missing’ on recent IOTWReport posts. -Annoying because I love your stuff.
I don’t think it’s a posting error. I believe something else is happening that’s dropping the links. Here is a link to the article.https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/china-poverty-economy-growth/2021/02/25/9e92cb18-7722-11eb-9489-8f7dacd51e75_story.html.extremepoverty. -Dr. Tar
Wow, America’s War on Poverty didn’t go anywhere near that well.
It’s a “Great Leap Forward,” I tell you!
