CCTV News: On February 24, the State Council Information Office held a press conference.

At the press conference, a reporter asked: This year is the last year for the five-year transition period for consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. Many grassroots cadres and the masses are concerned about it. If the transition period is over, will there be any changes in the policy? How will the next step of assistance policies transform to normalization?

Han Wenxiu, deputy director in charge of daily work of the Central Finance and Economics Office and director of the Central Rural Affairs Office, responded: Consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation and preventing large-scale relapse into poverty is the bottom line task of the "three rural" work. This year is the last year of the five-year transition period. The more this time, the more we must shoulder our responsibilities, prevent our thoughts and work from being relaxed, and do our monitoring and assistance work with caution. The Central Document No. 1 focuses on the deployment of several aspects of work: First, improve the effectiveness of monitoring and assistance in preventing relapse into poverty. As the saying goes, there are unexpected situations in the world, and some farmers will always face the risk of falling back into poverty due to sudden factors such as diseases and natural disasters. The key is to detect early, provide early assistance, and provide timely relief to avoid the accumulation of risks. In terms of monitoring, we must strengthen work coordination and information sharing, improve monitoring efficiency, and avoid increasing the burden on grassroots units. In terms of assistance, we must strengthen the pertinence and effectiveness of assistance measures, and implement the social assistance bottom-line guarantee policy according to the types of difficulties, as well as development-based assistance measures such as industrial assistance and employment assistance to ensure the stable elimination of the risk of falling back into poverty.

The second is to improve the long-term management mechanism for assisting assets. As we all know, since the fight against poverty, the state has invested a large scale of assets, which is an important support for the continued assistance in the future. At present, some assistance assets also have problems such as unclear ownership, poor management and maintenance, idle waste, and difficulty in disposal in their use and management, and some have even been illegally occupied and lost. The Central Document No. 1 proposes that a unified asset registration and management ledger should be established, and the full-process supervision systems such as asset formation, right confirmation and transfer, management and operation, and income distribution should be improved, so as to clarify who will manage, what and how to manage it, and ensure that operating assets will maintain value and increase efficiency and public welfare assets will continue to play a role.

The third is to study and formulate a policy system for assistance after the transition period. Maintaining the bottom line of preventing large-scale poverty relapse is not just an annual task this year, but also a long and permanent basis must be kept in the process after the transition period. Here we can clearly tell you that after the transition period is over, the assistance policies will not be "breathable", but should be improved in categories and established and improved the system and mechanism for normalized assistance. The general requirements and general direction of the Party Central Committee for continuing to assist low-income rural populations and underdeveloped areas are clear. This time, the Central Document No. 1 proposed that it is necessary to coordinate the establishment of a mechanism for preventing poverty from falling back into poverty in rural areas and a stratified and classified assistance system for low-income and underdeveloped areas. At present, we are organizing an overall assessment of the five-year transition period for consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. On the basis of the assessment, we will optimize and improve various assistance policies in a classified manner. For low-income rural populations, the focus is on coordinating the identification and monitoring of low-income rural populations and preventing relapse into poverty, strengthening development-based assistance to low-income rural populations with the ability to work, strengthening the bottom-line guarantee for social assistance, focusing on stimulating endogenous motivation, and enhancing the "hematopoiesis" function. For underdeveloped regions, the focus is to promote the revitalization and development of these regions, increase policy tilts in a targeted manner, and provide differentiated support through mechanisms such as east-west cooperation and targeted assistance, so that underdeveloped regions can gradually catch up in the process of modernization.
