DEAR editor,
I was enheartened to read in your pages on Wednesday the following noble comments by your honorable President:
After more than 30 years of reform and opening-up, Hu said China's poverty alleviation task no longer concerns just solving food and clothing issues. Rather, it is about speeding up poverty reduction, improving the ecological environment, strengthening developmental capabilities and narrowing wealth gaps.
Hu called on members of the Communist Party of China and the whole society to carry out poverty-alleviation work with greater resolve, intensified efforts and more effective actions and measures in order to achieve the target of building a comprehensively well-off society by 2020.
"Eradicating poverty, improving people's livelihoods, and prosperity for all is the fundamental requirement of socialism," Hu said.
Would that some "leader" in my country would utter similar sentiments!
