Re–innovation on Thought and Mode of Poverty Alleviation in Rural Areas of Western China Under the Goal of Finishing Building a Moderately Prosperous Society in All Respects

摘要

Over 70 percent of China’s remaining impoverished people live in rural areas in the western region. With constraints such as relatively adverse natural conditions and extreme decentralization as well as a rapid decrease of marginal benefit of the current poverty alleviation mode, it is an inevitable choice to reform and innovate on the mode in a bid to realize the development goal of helping 55.75 million poor people under the present poverty line to shake off poverty by 2020. This paper makes a comparative analysis of the status quo of poverty alleviation work and the current poverty–relief policies in 12 provinces in western China from the perspective of supply and demand and proposes an innovative means for a new mode of poverty al eviation by incorporating poverty–relief resource management, improving rural human capital development, and marketizing poverty–relief project selection mechanisms. Interconnected development of new urbanization and industrialization will be its focus, reform of the household registration and land system will be its driving force, and the implementation of a supervision network and a strong focus on ecological environments will be its support.
