An aerial view shows new village houses built by the Chinese government for ethnic minority in Ganluo county, southwest China's Sichuan province on Sept. 10, 2020. China's ruling Communist Party says its initiatives have helped to lift millions of people out of poverty. Yi ethnic minority members were moved out of their mountain villages in China’s southwest and into the newly built town in an anti-poverty initiative.
The party says such initiatives have helped to lift millions of people out of poverty. But they can require drastic changes, sometimes uprooting whole communities. They fuel complaints the party is trying to erase cultures as it prods minorities to embrace the language and lifestyle of the Han, who make up more than 90% of China’s population.
Mass relocations still are carried out because some mountainous and other areas are too isolated, said Wang Sangui, president of the China Poverty Alleviation Research Institute of Renmin University in Beijing.In Sichuan, which includes some of China’s poorest areas, 80 billion yuan has been spent to date to relocate 1.4 million people, according to Peng Qinghua, the provincial party secretary. He said that included building 370,000 new homes and over 110,000 kilometers of rural roads.
In one village, Xujiashan, annual household income has risen from 1,750 yuan in 2014 to 11,000 yuan , according to its deputy secretary, Zhang Lixin.
Fucked
If you don't support the govt & speak out you will be put in a indoctrination camp. If you say you believe in God you will be put in indoctrination camps. There is no free speech. No freedom of thought. No free enterprise. Poor folks live better here than they do in China.
Tyranny. Totalitarianism.
I love it when other peeps ca see through CCP bs.
this sounds vaguely familiar hmmm. doesn't it.
ap Why are you defending the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Communist Party of China?
So you envy again?
So I take it AP main job is to attack China
Sounds like Genocide
A business man just got 18 years for criticizing Xi Jinping. I’d rather be poor
China's ruling Communist Party, as opposed to? Do other clouds have a ruling something?
Your picture 9，translate slogan wrong。it means :Poor people can not be short-sighted, poverty alleviation must first support the will.
ReneeGiraldy Also: we committed mass genocide. Shh. Don’t tell anyone.
It’s easy to move people out of their homes when they’re owned collectively and not solely by the individuals occupying them. DeBlasio wants to do the same in New York
AYFKM with this? The FBI should look in to the communist propaganda coming from our press, but I'm afraid they're compromised, too. JFC
I believe forcing language & cultural change on peoples in order to survive under ccp rule is called cultural genocide (Like Aust did to Indigenous)
Might reach that ratio
Without language skills (speak Mandarin in China) and a higher education, the poor, rural population can never come out of poverty. China has done an amazing job lifting over 800million people out of poverty in the last 40 years.
if you don't speak the language, you cannot participate and benefit from the economic boom they get left behind and feel bitter about the wealth inequality, and wahabism sets it. at least most of the young ppl of these communities speaks mandarin
“Pros minorities “ is a funny way of saying “slave labor.”
This is blatant CCP propaganda and anyone with eyes can see that.
Sleepy Joe Biden for china! Lol!
As eery national state made with its state parts in the recent past as in every european country or even the US.
I already seen that movie and heard that song!🙄
By 'prod minorities to embrace the language and lifestyle of the Han', do you mean imprison in concentration camps and genocided?
It shouldn't be 'embrace' it should be 'forcing'. Also, this isn't poverty eradication this is ethnic cleansing.
A bizarre way of framing placing religious minorities into concentration camps.
'sometimes uprooting whole communities and prod minorities to embrace the language and lifestyle of the Han.' Wow, funny way to describe Uighur internment camps and interrogating people for social media complaints against police abuse. Is AP becoming a CCP rag?
The U.N. has said that up to 1.5 million Uighurs are in internment camps in China. China says this is to contain the threat of terrorism and to reeducate people in the camps to become better Chinese citizens=genocide
That looks like Mexico. They are doing the same thing for the poor. But at a slower pace because the corruption in the government, it will take years instead of weeks or months. If they are getting a home, why call it uprooting? It’s homesteading.
Wonder if they'll drop rocket stages on them
Lebron and NBA approved oh and Disney and Marvel.
What an outrageous headline! I guess Andrew Jackson was engaging in “anti-poverty initiatives” as well? American journalism at its finest!! Yeah
Meanwhile in USA, relocating ppl to the streets
Oh how envious the DNC is of this type of economic recover. They have been trying for 100+ years to be able to control votes and people’s lives. It’s ONLY about POWER for them.
Welcome to the projects!
Yeah right... pur fo the poverty... meanwhile they send a virus to the world to make our lives an ongoing nightmare...
Pure Pro-China propoganda.
I guess the number of poor people go down when you kill them off.
first the CCP put you into poverty, second the CCP says anti poverty and remove your culture... it is Genocide.
Its got 2b better than 4 more years of Trump! If he wins? And, you should need to reach me? China! 3 blocks down the street from, the Great Wall.
US urban renewal in the 1960s worked on the same theory, along with Indian boarding schools and adoptions Neither worked well in the long run Beware of any government trying to 'make things better.'
Oh please. Everyone in China has been affected by this, Han as well as minorities. FFS.
Has nothing to do with poverty. They are brainwashing people, erasing cultures and forcing people to conform or go into concentration camps
AOC and E Warren's view as to how we should be treated
Domestic colonialism
Forced relocation is genocide
The left media is now promoting communism! Stop the BS! Vote Trump, vote red
They also put all of those people in poverty in the first place.
Meanwhile in the death camps
american treasure ginsberg was a patriot surely this was the last thing in her mind
