As one of the country's "three tough battles," reducing poverty is expected to accelerate this year to achieve the goal of lifting all its rural residents living below current poverty line out of poverty and eliminate poverty in all poor counties and regions by 2020. China still had 16.6 million poor people by the end of 2018.
作为“三大攻坚战”之一，今年的扶贫步伐或将加快，以实现到2020年确保现行标准下农村贫困人口实现脱贫、贫困县全部摘帽的目标。截止2018年底，我国还有1660万贫困人口。
