Tibet becoming more beautiful

In the 10 years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the development of the Tibet autonomous region has been remarkable. Tibet has not only maintained social harmony and stability, but also realized macroeconomic growth of 9.5 percent a year, among the highest in the country. More important, it has eradicated absolute poverty despite the harsh natural conditions and weak development base, strengthened ecological protection, and taken measures to ensure traditional culture survives and people adapt to the changing times.

The eradication of absolute poverty in Tibet is a milestone, because poverty in Tibet was more widespread and deep-rooted than other places in China.

The central government intensified the poverty alleviation work in Tibet, by first identifying people living in abject poverty and then taking special measures to improve their lot.
