File picture: Desmond Kwande/AFP Published Mar 29, 2022 Making a difference by drawing on experience gained in China Eliminating poverty is a challenge for all countries. China has made remarkable achievements in poverty alleviation, carrying forward the great tradition of working together and offering mutual support.
