Episode description

For decades, global poverty seemed insurmountable. While the percentage of people living in poverty has declined over the years, nearly 600 million are still projected to survive on less than $2.15 a day by 2030. At the same time, China has achieved what many thought impossible, lifting nearly 100 million rural residents out of poverty in just eight years. As the G20 launches the Global Alliance to Combat Hunger and Poverty, could lessons from China’s success inspire a global turnaround? What challenges stand in the way of adapting these strategies on a worldwide scale? In this episode, we explore the fight against poverty from multiple perspectives with CGTN reporter Yang Chengxi from Rio de Janeiro.
