They redefined the poverty line in 2011.

> In December 2011, the Chinese government announced it would lift the country’s rural poverty line from 1,274 yuan per year in 2010 to 2,300 yuan, an increase of over 80 percent. This, once adjusted by the purchasing power parity of 2005, is equivalent to approximately US$1.80 per day, a threshold well above the US$1.25 used by the World Bank for international poverty comparisons.

industrialization and capitalism did, not the communist party of china.


The prevgen Communist Party in China is responsible for poverty creation displacing city slickers into the countryside to later return as dirty cheap migrant laborers in the Tim Apple's techboom and telling themselves propaganda lies before Xi Jinping's truthtelling.
