Through targeted poverty alleviation efforts, Kangping county in Shenyang has had no new disadvantaged population since 2018.

This achievement is attributed to the city government's constant support, local officials said.

To fulfill the spirit of the fourth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Shenyang development and reform commission attached great importance to the county's targeted poverty alleviation.

The authority has not only explored ways to help the county rid itself of poverty, but has supported its economic development in a bid to promote rural revitalization, local officials said.

In 2020, the commission said it plans to invest CNY 29 million ($4.15 million) from the central government budget to support the county's development.

The fund will be used to amplify the benefits of poverty alleviation by developing industries, launching income-generation projects and improving local infrastructure.

According to the government report of Kangping county in 2020, the county will fully develop a new outlook on revitalization.

For example, Kongjia village is a local community that has contributed to the county's revitalization through targeted poverty alleviation. The village has set up eight social service organizations for its seniors and left-behind children, and has also arranged poverty alleviation-related promotions for villagers, according to local officials.

Since 2017, the commission has conducted tours of inquiry to impoverished households in Kongjia village. There they have learned about villagers' difficulties and explained the latest poverty alleviation policies and information. The authority has also sent supplies and donated materials such as clothes, quilts and books during tours.

Given the advantages of its location and agricultural resources, the village focused on developing its collective economy and optimizing its crop production facilities.

It has cooperated with an e-commerce platform in Dalian city to sell its agricultural products, such as millet and black beans. The village has established a marketing network across the country.

In addition, the village has built a 400-square-meter production and processing workshop to develop its projects, which is now in operation.

These projects are expected to create 50 jobs for the local surplus labor force, local officials said.
