BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua) -- The developed areas in the east have paired up with the underdeveloped areas in the west to help them in poverty alleviation. Unremitting efforts and cooperation in industries, labor service, talent support, financial support and mobilization of social forces have ensured that the rural poor population under the current standard in the western region has shaken off poverty, and all poor counties have been lifted out of poverty by 2020 with overall regional poverty being eradicated.
