BEIJING, March 23 (Xinhua) -- China's poverty alleviation efforts depend on a strict, standardized, quantified and transparent poverty alleviation process that is consistent across the country.
The effective implementation of China's poverty alleviation policies is also due to the "decentralized" nature of the country's governance structure.
Leaders in Beijing sketch out grand visions, the routine work of development is done at a local level, where the government interacts directly with investors and people.
Bottom-up improvisation has been an important driver of China's escape from the poverty trap.
