    Wasn’t it like… they lifted that many out of “extreme poverty” which they classify as anything less than $2.30/day?

    I mean, cool, cool. But also, you’re not in poverty in China if you make $3/day, huh?

      The Poverty Elimination Campaign required all citizens to have adequate food, clothing, shelter, water, electricity, and ability to access education. So, no, it wasn’t just that. They built many homes for people, provided them subsidized food supplies, power stations to provide power to extremely rural areas, and more.
