Original Contribution Research On Xi Jinping’s Targeted Poverty Alleviation Strategy

Poverty is a common challenge faced by countries around the world in their economic and social development.Poverty,along with issues such as hunger,disease,and social conflicts triggered by poverty,seriously hampers humanity’s pursuit of a better life.Therefore,addressing and eliminating poverty have become significant topics for promoting global development.China used to be one of the developing countries with the largest number of poor people,the Communist Party of China,as a responsible and large party,has considered the pursuit of happiness for the people as its mission from the day of its establishment.It has united and led the masses to make unremitting efforts to eliminate poverty and lead a happy and beautiful life.Since the 18 th National Congress of the Party,the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China,with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core,has attached great importance to the issue of poverty,incorporating poverty alleviation and development into the overall layout of the "The Five-sphere Integrated Plan " and "The Four-pronged Comprehensive Strategy".Based on long-term and in-depth thinking about poverty alleviation and development,Xi Jinping has conducted numerous researches visits to poverty-stricken areas,delivered a series of important speeches,and profoundly elucidated major theoretical and practical issues related to poverty alleviation and development in China’s new era.This has resulted in the formulation of an original strategic thought centered on precision poverty alleviation.It represents a major theoretical innovation in poverty alleviation and development in China and guides innovation in China’s poverty alleviation practices with new poverty alleviation theories.As a result,China achieved a comprehensive victory in poverty alleviation in 2020,historically eliminating absolute poverty.As the latest achievement in the localization of Marxist anti-poverty theory in China,Xi Jinping’s strategy of targeted poverty alleviation has attracted widespread attention and research from domestic and international academia in recent years.Scholars from various disciplines such as economics,political science,and management have conducted detailed research on Xi Jinping’s strategy of targeted poverty alleviation,yielding fruitful results.However,there has been relatively little research on the original contributions of Xi Jinping’s strategy of targeted poverty alleviation,and further in-depth research is needed.This paper,from the perspective of the localization of Marxism in China,employs research methods that combine historical analysis,interdisciplinary research,normative research,and empirical research.It provides an overview of the relevant concepts,international background,objective basis,historical logic,and the formation and development of Xi Jinping’s original contributions to the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation.The paper comprehensively and systematically discusses Xi Jinping’s original contributions to the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation from four aspects:ideological resources,empirical foundations,theoretical innovation,and practical innovation.In the final chapter,the paper summarizes the contemporary significance of Xi Jinping’s original contributions to the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation from the perspectives of theoretical value and practical value.Specifically,the paper is structured into seven sections.Chapter One is the Introduction.This section primarily introduces the research background and significance of this thesis,the current state of domestic and international research,research approach and methods,as well as the innovations and limitations of the thesis.It provides the basic logical starting point for further in-depth research in the thesis.Chapter Two explains the related issues of the Original contribution research on Xi Jinping’s targeted poverty alleviation strategy.This chapter provides an overview of the relevant concepts,international background,objective basis,historical logic,and the formation and development of the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation.The paper explains the concepts of poverty,poverty alleviation,targeted poverty alleviation,and poverty alleviation efforts.It discusses the international and domestic background for the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation.The historical development of poverty alleviation since the reform and opening-up era is explored to understand the historical logic behind the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation.Finally,the chapter delves into the various stages of the strategy to discuss its formation,maturity,and development.Chapter Three is the ideological resources of Xi Jinping’s Original Contributions to the Strategy of

alleviation ideas within Chinese traditional culture,such as the concept of "the people are the foundation of the state;the state is strong when the people are prosperous",the vision of achieving a moderately prosperous society and a harmonious society,and the notion of helping the needy and promoting education as poverty alleviation principles.Finally,it explores foreign theories on poverty alleviation,including theories related to poverty culture,human capital,multidimensional poverty,and inclusive development.Chapter Four is the substantial evidence of Xi Jinping’s Original Contributions to the Strategy of Targeted Poverty Alleviation.This chapter primarily covers six aspects: first,it discusses the unclear statistics on poverty alleviation recipients by examining the evolution of poverty alleviation standards,the targeting of poverty alleviation recipients,and the lack of accurate data on the number of recipients.Second,it addresses the deviation from the needs of poverty alleviation recipients by examining the arrangement of poverty alleviation projects,project monitoring,and instances where projects do not meet the actual needs.Thirdly,it discusses the allocation of funds for poverty alleviation,the management of funds for poverty alleviation,and the leakage of funds for poverty alleviation;Fourthly,it discusses the ineffectiveness of poverty alleviation to households from the perspective of poverty alleviation initiatives to households,the requirements for poverty alleviation to households,and the ineffectiveness of poverty alleviation to households;Fifth,it discusses the issue of formalism in village assistance by looking at the implementation of resident village assistance,the tasks involved,and instances of formalistic practices.Sixth,it addresses the issue of unfair allocation of poverty alleviation resources by examining the delineation of poverty-stricken counties,the resource access in poor counties,and instances of resource allocation being unfair.Chapter Five is the theoretical Innovation of Xi Jinping’s Original Contributions to the Strategy of Targeted Poverty Alleviation.This chapter mainly covers three aspects: first,it discusses the theoretical innovation of the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation in the direction of poverty governance.This includes precision in identifying recipients,the project arrangement,fund utilization,measures at the household level,personnel allocation to villages,and precision in assessing poverty alleviation outcomes.Second,it explores the

will provide support," "how to provide support," "how to phase out support," and "how to ensure stability" in poverty alleviation efforts.Third,it discusses the theoretical innovation of the strategy

evaluation system,emphasizing the comprehensive implementation of the main responsibility for poverty alleviation,along with typical cases of innovative evaluation systems.Chapter Seven is the the era value of Xi Jinping’s Original Contributions to the Strategy of Targeted Poverty Alleviation.This chapter is divided into two main aspects: theoretical value and practical value of the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation.The strategy of targeted poverty alleviation inherits and develops classical Marxist anti-poverty theories,enriches and deepens Chinese Marxist anti-poverty theories,provides theoretical support for relative poverty governance,and the theoretical lessons to poverty governance in the international community.It holds significant theoretical value.Additionally,the strategy of targeted poverty alleviation has led to tremendous achievements in China’s poverty alleviation efforts,promoted the development and progress of human rights in China,providing practical impetus to the governance of relative poverty,and the practical lessons for the international community in poverty governance.It holds significant practical value.
