He urged accelerated efforts in lifting there maining 52 poor counties and 1,113 villages out of poverty.
Xi put poverty relief center and front ofhis governance and spent the most energy on it. He personally led theanti-poverty war. During his domestic inspections this year, Xi often went tothe frontline to supervise poverty relief efforts.
"No one should be left behind on theroad of socialism," Xi said in May. "Everyone should be on the path toward a moderately prosperous society in all respects and common prosperity."

It provided anti-virus assistance toover 150 countries and nine international organizations, sent 36 medical teamsto 34 countries, and supplied over 200 billion facial masks, 2 billionprotective suits and 800 million testing kits overseas.
