Abstract

One of the key objectives of China's anti-poverty policies is to alleviate severe and chronic poverty, while also eliminating temporary poverty. The poor rural residents of the Tibetan Plateau suffer from severe poverty, which requires the government to take comprehensive, multi-dimensional measures, to help them break through the poverty trap. Apart from implementing a policy aimed at guaranteeing a minimum standard of living, the government should also invest in infrastructure, information provision, skills training, market organization development, technical support, education, improvements in public health and the provision of other social services.
