Beijing Seminar Debuts New Research on China's Poverty Alleviation

Fan Daqi, vice president of the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies, described the country's poverty reduction efforts as a foundational achievement of Chinese modernization. He argued that the new publication serves as both an academic reference and a tool for foreign audiences to better grasp China's institutional strengths and development path. The book, authored by Cao Li, a deputy director at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, integrates empirical research with the philosophy of common prosperity.

Participants emphasized the need to move beyond simple narratives to create a transferable knowledge base. Jiang Ting of Zhejiang Education Publishing Group noted that the group plans to expand the work’s reach through multilingual translations and cross-platform communication. Meanwhile, scholars like Zhang Qi of Beijing Normal University and Huang Chengwei, a former development center director, stressed that future communication must be region-specific. They suggested that by focusing on governance mechanisms and institutional logic, China can provide a practical model for other developing nations while countering one-sided external perspectives through more robust, data-driven academic discourse.
