    Safety net for strugglers

    Despite the progress, millions are still grappling with dire poverty, mostly scattered across the vast Three Areas and Three Prefectures outside Tibet-a mosaic of ethnic communities.

    A report made by the Minister of Civil Affairs Li Jiheng at a recent legislative session shed light on the problems there. Li said among some 17.5 million impoverished recipients of State benefits in the Three Areas and Three Prefectures, 63.5 percent were seniors, minors, or people frail with disabilities or chronic diseases.

    That had made it difficult for authorities to lift them out of poverty through conventional means, such as fostering local industries or developing tourism.

    Basic living allowances and other State benefits are considered the last measures to be adopted in an effort to ward off the "Two Worries"-the lack of food and sufficient clothing.

    The "Two Worries" is an euphemism for the income threshold where a household is deemed to have cast off the poverty label.

    The report said China allocated 562 billion yuan in subsidies to help people in need from 2016 to 2019. The funds were used to help people in extreme poverty, orphans, the homeless and beggars, among others.

    "We'll make concrete efforts to strengthen social relief work, to ensure that the bottom buffer works and that the poverty reduction battle will end in victory," he said.
