More than 30 million minority Chinese groups escaped poverty

Chinanews, Jan.13 - China's poverty-stricken population in regions
inhabited by its minorities has been reduced from 45 million in 1994 to
13.04 million presently. The ethnic groups with smaller populations, such
as the Jinuo and Bulang group, have basically realised the goal of
completely eliminating poverty amongst its people. At the moment, the
peasants' per capita net income in the poverty-stricken ethnic minority
prefectures has increased from 404 yuan in 1992 to 1,340 yuan in 2003.
Over the years that China has actively implemented its economic policies,
it has arranged for treasury bond placements of up to 110.2 billion yuan
to be spent in five autonomous regions, including Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner
Mongolia, Guangxi and Ningxia, accounting for one-eighth of the total
amount of treasury bond issued in China. Treasury bonds are primarily
used for the construction of basic infrastructure facilities for
agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, water conservancy, railways and
roads, as well as for the "Grain for Green" project, water supply system
in cities and towns, sewage and garbage treatment, drinking water system
for humans and domestic animals, and the agricultural network reforms and
other areas which are related to the daily life of the urban and rural
residents in the minority regions. The amount of work relief subsidies
that has been spent on the ethnic minority regions since 2001 added up to
12 billion yuan, which is half of the total amount used in the entire
country.
