In February, the Chinese government celebrated the eradication of extreme poverty within its borders. This would be a massive achievement for any country, but for China it’s even more so as it is home to some 1.4 billion people and is considered a developing country. China is credited with lifting over 800 million people out of poverty, which accounts for 70 percent of the world’s total poverty reduction. This is an incredible feat and it’s worth understanding how China did it.
To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Tings Chak, a researcher at the Tricontinental Institute, a member of Dongsheng News collective and lead author of the report “Serve the People: The Eradication of Extreme Poverty in China.”

Dear Ms. Tings Chak: I enjoyed your interview about China’s eradication of drastic or desperate poverty of 850 million Chinese! This was a herculean task, and China made an incredible achievement!
Would you please make it possible for me to purchase your book about the subject matter?
Thanks indeed.
