China journeys to sustainable development

Under the visionary leadership of the Communist Party of China, Beijing has adopted a people-centric approach to alleviate poverty (it has already eradicated absolute poverty in the country), advance high-quality development, and improve the wellbeing of the people, which aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Over the past few decades, China's economic advancement and transformation have helped the country lift about 800 million people out of extreme poverty, setting an example for other developing countries how to harmonize their aspirations for economic development with social development.

The Chinese government's investments in infrastructure, education and healthcare have played a vital role in improving the quality of life of the Chinese people, and reflect its progress especially toward achieving SDG 9(build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation), SDG 4(ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all) and SDG 3(ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages).
