China has been working on reducing poverty in rural areas, but it's getting harder due to factors like a lot of poor people, income gaps, and poverty coming back. To improve, they need to focus on helping poor people, not just poor areas, and on giving people the ability to escape poverty. They should also use both government and community help, make sure money is used well, help people where they are and where they move, and use different ways to help different kinds of poverty.
