750,000 People to Be Relocated in Southwest China to Alleviate Poverty
Beijing - QNA
Southwest China's Guizhou, one of the most impoverished provinces in the country, plans to relocate over 750,000 people this year as a poverty alleviation measure.
A total of 181,000 households will be moved from remote, inhospitable areas in the hope of providing them with a better life, said head of a provincial relocation bureau Wang Yingzheng, according to Chinese news agency (Xinhua).
Over 3,600 entire villages will be moved, accounting for about 30 % of those to be relocated, said Wang.
The cost of the operation is estimated at 45 billion yuan ($6.6 billion).
"We are moving two thirds more people than last year," he said.
China plans to lift 10 million people above poverty line this year, with Guizhou one of the frontline provinces.
