Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the party and the country have attached great importance to poverty alleviation and led people to successfully create a path of poverty alleviation and development with Chinese characteristics, bringing more than 700 million people out of absolute poverty, and contributing to the world's poverty alleviation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the state has promoted the targeted poverty alleviation, innovated poverty alleviation methods, and made new progress in the poverty alleviation work.

Eliminating poverty, improving people's livelihood, and gradually achieving common prosperity are the essential requirements of socialism. After more than 40 years of reform and opening up policy, China has embarked on a path of poverty alleviation with Chinese characteristics. In precise poverty alleviation, cadres in villages have become an important force to tackle the problem, and contact channels. Through studying the actual situation of the implementation of the basic strategy of the Party Central Committee’s precise poverty alleviation in the concentrated and contiguous areas of Yanshan-Taihang Mountain, it is truly reflected in the successful examples of grassroots forces winning the battle against poverty under the strong leadership of party committees and governments at all levels. Finally, the research demonstrates the new era style of the vast number of poverty alleviation cadres stationed in the village taking up the role, dedicating to the grassroots, and making sacrifices on the battlefield of poverty alleviation.

Development Discourses

This article explores the relations between a foreign aid donor and local actors in the context of the dissemination of development discourses and practices in an authoritarian context. It addresses the question “To what extent may the local dynamics alter the original goals of a donor and lead to unintended consequences?” Based on archival research, interviews, and secondary literature, this case study examines the Yunnan Uplands Management Project (YUM) in 1990–95, the Ford Foundation's first grant program on rural poverty alleviation in China. While the Foundation did not attain its main goal of making YUM a national model for poverty alleviation, the local actors were able to use YUM to develop individual capacities and to build roles for themselves as development actors in the form of associations and nongovernmental organizations, resulting in further support from the Foundation. The study contributes to our understanding of donor-local actor dynamics by highlighting the gaps between the original goals of a donor and the perspectives and motivations of local actors. The study suggests that local dynamics may influence the goals of donors and the ways they seek to disseminate development discourses and practices to local actors, despite the common conception of donors as hegemonic or culturally imperialistic.
