The article discusses the program aimed at the liquidation of poverty in China, the ways and methods of its solution, which allowed in a short time - the life of two generations - to actually achieve the elimination of absolute poverty in a country with 1,4 billion people. The new model of targeted poverty alleviation, based on Xi Jinping concept of targeting, is specifically examined.
