China is a developing country with a large population. At the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese government proposed a goal for common prosperity through gradual reduction of poverty. Poverty includes the vulnerability of facing risks and dealing with them, as well as the inability to express their own demands and the lack of influence. Therefore, given this definition, China’s current poverty problem is not only an economic one, but also one of underdeveloped education, poor quality of the population as well as ideological backwardness.
From 2001 to 2005, taking advantages of its accession to the World Trade Organization, China made progress in many areas, with its active participation in talks and negotiations regarding world trade rules, striving to maximize the interests of developing countries and struggling to create a fair and rational external environmental for development. In view of China’s comprehensive national strength now, it is still difficult for it to overcome the problem of poverty of 30 million people overnight. China urgently requires the understanding and support of international organizations. China is a nation that knows how to repay their gratitude. The Chinese people have always cherished the help and support of international society. The people of China have been endeavoring to walk out of the shadows of poverty.
