“两会是观察了解中国发展的绝佳时机”，这已成为世界各国有识之士的共鸣。 当今世界正处于百年未有之大变局，全球治理体系面临深刻重塑。值此关键时刻，世界的目光聚焦中国，有探究，也更期待。 今年全国两会期间，扶贫、高质量发展、“一带一路”倡议、外商投资等热词引发了外国专家们的热议。 POVERTY ALLEVIATION 扶贫 In the government work report delivered at the opening of the annual NPC session on March 5, China pledges to reduce its population of rural poor by over 10 million this year. 十三届全国人大二次会议5日上午开幕，国务院总理李克强在政府工作报告中指出，今年再减少农村贫困人口1000万以上。 Official figures show that over the past 40 years, China has lifted more than 70 million of its rural residents out of poverty, and the poverty rate -- the proportion of people living below the Chinese poverty line -- had fallen among the rural population from 97.5 percent in 1978 to 3.1 percent at the end of 2017. 官方数据显示，在过去40年中，中国已有超过7000万农村人口实现脱贫。农村人口贫困率（生活在贫困线以下人口的比例）已从1978年的97.5%下降到2017年的3.1%。 "For me, it is just a miracle that over 40 years, over the course of one working lifetime, China has gone from one of the poorest countries in the world" to one that is about to eliminate absolute poverty, said Craig Allen, president of the US-China Business Council. |
