Highlights

  • We examine the current poverty prevalence level in China using four nationally representative samples.
  • The national poverty rate in 2009 was about 12.6 percent using the $1.25-per-day poverty threshold and 16.8 percent using the $1.50-per-day poverty threshold.
  • Poverty in rural areas is much more severe than in urban areas.
  • We find that China’s current poverty prevalence is higher than the official estimates.

Don't trust everything that comes out of the CCP propaganda machine.
