CSPGP Anti-Poverty Measures


¡¡¡¡ The CSPGP works under the instruction of United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) and is monitored and administered by MCA (Ministry of Civil Affairs of China). It daily work is done by its standing organizations under the leadership of the General Secretary and Vice-General Secretary. Its main standing organizations include CSPGP General Office, Project Department (location: No.27 Lane Xisi Daguaibang, Beijing), Liaison Department (location: No. 135 Fuyou Street, Beijing) and Publicity Department (location: No. 93 Beiheyan Street, Beijing). The General Office handles of everyday administrative matters of the CSPGP, the Project Department promotes anti-poverty projects, the Liaison Department is responsible for all the liaison matters and the Publicity Department collects and makes the anti-poverty achievements of private entrepreneurs to the public.

¡¡¡¡No matter in which part of the country, no matter in which industry, the banner of the Guangcai Program has united private entrepreneurs in the undertaking of eliminating poverty and achieving prosperity. After ten years' continuous efforts, millions of people have get rid of poverty and embarked on the road to prosperity.
¡¡¡¡The Guangcai Program is different from ordinary poverty relief programs. It is a new model of poverty alleviation which is focused on development ,serving as a new force in the poverty reduction undertaking. Based on the concepts of volunteerism and mutual benefits and reciprocity.
Guangcai program is an investment practice and enterprises' behavior with a purpose to achieve prosperity and eliminate poverty. It is also a passionate and lofty behavior, adoring the concepts of combining generosity and profits and laying equal stress on morality and actions, showing the traditional Chinese virtues.
¡¡¡¡The Guangcai Program has been committed to supporting the government's key work, including poverty alleviation campaign, the Western Development, reemployment project for laid-off workers, the reform of state-owned enterprises(SOE) and the rejuvenation of North East China. Our program is the fruit of the reform and opening up as well as a booster of the prosperity of the country and the people.
¡¡¡¡Since its inception, the Guangcai Program has taken poverty reduction and social well being as its responsibilities. While working on projects, the program has been promoting education, building bridges and highways, aiding the most vulnerable, giving long-awaited help to underprivileged people and areas with the warmest heart and the most sincere passion
¡¡¡¡The program through development has adopted the concepts of coordinated development and cooperation to achieve win-win situation, it has been actively participating in various activities. It has always been expanding the working fields to pursue the harmonious development between man and society, as well as between man and nature
¡¡¡¡The Guangcai Program not only opens a new way for social development that enables people who are rich to help those in need to achieve prosperity, and it also provides a large stage for entrepreneurs in private sector to improve themselves and make full use of their capabilities. As a result, the program has won full acknowledgement of the Patry , the national government and the society.
¡¡¡¡International Exchanges: In today's world, peace and development has become the main issue of the time. All governments have set the political, economical and social goal of eliminating absolute poverty and decreasing relative poverty. Guangcai Program of China, as a brand new method of aid-the-poor and development, has gained much attention from the world, especially from the developing countries.

¡¡¡¡1. Stimulating mechanism: mutual beneficial and neglecting neither morality nor benefit
¡¡¡¡The anti-poverty activities of CSPGP are volunteer actions of the mass and not governmental actions. Its major participants are private entrepreneurs who participate in the projects under the principle of volunteering and within the limit of their own abilities. The anti-poverty projects are mainly development projects run according to market economic laws, that is, the participants bear their own risks. Therefore, the stimulating mechanism is bilateral, that is, both market benefit and spiritual stimulation are working, which reflects the major tenet of the Guangcai Program "mutual beneficial and neglecting neither morality nor benefit".
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡1.£± Profit driving mechanism
¡¡¡¡Based on the principles of volunteering, mutual beneficial and neglecting neither morality nor benefit, the CSPGP guides and encourages private entrepreneurs to participate in development anti-poverty projects for profit. Therefore, profit-driving mechanism is the primary driving mechanism for private entrepreneurs to participate in development anti-poverty projects under market economics system.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡1.£² Spiritual encouragement mechanism
¡¡¡¡The Chinese Communist party and the Chinese Government assert active and positive praise to CSPGP anti-poverty activities. This is the most important spiritual encouragement to private entrepreneurs engaged in CSPGP anti-poverty projects. For more details, see "Progress of CSPGP Anti-poverty Projects" in the previous part. The CSPGP also highly honors and gives publicity to those private entrepreneurs who have prominent achievements in the anti-poverty projects. To honor those private entrepreneurs and overseas participants actively engaged in CSPGP anti-poverty projects, the CSPGP sets up "Guangcai Program Medal" and "Guangcai Program Organizing Award." It also actively recommends private entrepreneurs to take part in nationwide anti-poverty award activities. By the end of 2004, 156 private entrepreneurs have won "Guangcai Program Medal" and 66 units and individuals have won "Guangcai Program Organizing Award." Approved by related international organizations, a small planet discovered by China will be named as "Guangcai Program Planet."

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡2. Project promotion - promotion measures of Guangcai Program
¡¡¡¡The CSPGP mainly relies on private entrepreneurs to implement anti-poverty projects. Private entrepreneurs engaged in anti-poverty projects select a project and then implement it to aid the poor of the involved areas. The early stage of promoting a project centers around investigation and after that, promotion.
¡¡¡¡In the early stage, a group of development anti-poverty projects are initiated through making policies, establishing related organizations, publicizing, organizing and investigating. After that, more projects are started following examples of those projects to mobilize people around the involved areas to seek for common wealth. After that, anti-poverty activities are focused on project promotion, which is the major way for CSPGP to implement anti-poverty projects.
¡¡¡¡2.£± The development of promotion measures of Guangcai Program
¡¡¡¡2.£±.£± Mobilize private entrepreneurs to participate in development anti-poverty projects
¡¡¡¡The CSPGP utilizes its organization resources and the system resources of the United Front Work Department of CPC Central Committee and the ACFIC to convey to private entrepreneurs the importance and value of anti-poverty projects.
¡¡¡¡1) It calls on the wealth to keep in mind the mother country and the people and to seek for common wealth.
2) It calls on the mass to actively participate in national anti-poverty projects to make contributions to the social and economic development of the former revolutionary base areas, areas inhabited by minority nationalities, remote and border areas and poverty-stricken areas in Eight-Seven Anti-Poverty Plan of China and China Western Development.
¡¡¡¡3) Socialistic view about morality and benefit calls on private entrepreneurs to emphasize both morality and benefit. The general secretary of CSPGP Mr. Hu Deping mentions socialistic view about morality and benefit in every symposium with private entrepreneurs. The CSPGP calls private entrepreneurs to realize their anti-poverty ambition in the meantime of managing their business.
¡¡¡¡4) Participating in development anti-poverty projects is also a means to expand the development of the enterprises.

¡¡¡¡2.£±.£² Promote anti-poverty projects through investigation
The CSPGP organizes private entrepreneurs and economic personage from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas areas to visit and investigate poverty-stricken areas to strengthen the understanding between them, and then pushes the entrepreneurs to discuss, plan and implement anti-poverty projects with people in these areas.
¡¡¡¡The CSPGP organizes entrepreneurs interested in anti-poverty projects to investigate poverty-stricken areas and to understand causes for poverty in these areas and resources exploitable for anti-poverty projects. And then, they take specific anti-poverty measures according to the information collected through investigation. In the two years from the end of 1994 to the end of 1996, the CSPGP, the United Front Work Department of CCCPC and the ACFIC have organized 13 large investigation teams to visit autonomous regions and provinces of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan and Guangxi for investigation and investment. In addition, local branches of the CSPGP, the United Front Work Department of CPC Central Committee and the ACFIC also organize similar investigation activities. Before these investigation activities, many private entrepreneurs do not know the poverty situation in the poverty-stricken areas and do not have personal experience of life conditions there. Through these investigations, they see in their own eyes the poverty conditions and get to know the resources exploitable in these areas. Many of them are greatly shocked and voluntarily ask to participate in the development anti-poverty projects for these areas.
¡¡¡¡2.£±.£³ Promote anti-poverty projects
To promote anti-poverty projects is to push anti-poverty activities through implementing the projects. Private entrepreneurs select a project on their own will and then implement it to help alleviate poverty of the involved area.
¡¡¡¡Private entrepreneurs select a project on their own will according to concrete poverty conditions and objective demands of the areas, national industry policies, their own economic ability and technical strength. After that, they communicate with local government and people to reach co-operation agreement and to implement projects. All development anti-poverty projects are run according to market economic laws and entrepreneurs are responsible for the operation and management of the projects and bear all risks.
¡¡¡¡During the implementation of the development anti-poverty projects, private entrepreneurs need communicate fully with the object being helped and form with them into a common interest body. The common interest first reflects in that the capital, technology, talents, management experience marketing and sales of the enterprises have close relation and frequent exchange with the resources, labor and demands of the local people. Secondly, this common interest body establishes contractual relationship between enterprises and the local people through negotiation according to market demands and the will of the contractual parties. The establishment and operation of the contractual relationship is the economic democracy form of the common interest body. This democracy form guarantees the decision-making authority, operation rights and risk-bearing responsibility of the investors. It also develops the franchise, survival and development rights, and rights for participating in social activities of the weak mass. Thirdly, the common interest body is a double-win body so that it can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the involved to establish blood-generating development anti-poverty projects.
¡¡¡¡Anti-poverty project promotion was first put forward by the CSPGP in the first session of the first council conference in 1996. It proves to be a plausible way for anti-poverty projects after practice of these years. Now the project promotion has taken new and further ways, typically in the following two aspects: first project investors or undertakers have changed. Projects were usually invested or undertaken by one enterprise and there were only few projects that were invested or undertaken by two or three enterprises. However, since 1999, there have arisen many national consortia composed of private enterprises and enterprises of other economic system (including enterprises of national ministries and commissions and large state-owned enterprises), and engaged in Guangcai Program projects of specific industries. In some provincial areas, consortia composed of several private enterprises and their subordinating local braches also appear. Therefore, a nationwide investing system for the Guangcai Program comes into being. Secondly, Guangcai Program projects were almost totally separate from each other in the initial years. However, since 1999, nationwide Guangcai Program projects in the same industry have been mutually supporting and co-operating with each other.
¡¡¡¡2.£².£± Temporary management measures for Guangcai Program
Application, recommendation and approval of key Guangcai Program projects
¡¡¡¡To set up key Guangcai Program projects is to support a group of key projects with centralized effort. Through supporting key projects, the CSPGP can get to know the overall condition and the general operation laws of Guangcai Program projects nationwide so as to effectively push the all-round development of Guangcai Program.
¡¡¡¡Key Guangcai Program projects must have the following qualifications:
1. Complying with national industry policies or anti-poverty policies.
¡¡¡¡2. Having at least one of the following qualifications: a) It has over 200 million yuan project investment; b) It has more than 500 employees in the project; c) It has prominent anti-poverty achievement or is an outstanding industry example.
¡¡¡¡3. There has been considerable investment or material construction in the projects.
¡¡¡¡Principles for approving national key Guangcai Program projects are as follows: project scale and benefit (including both economic benefit and social benefit) as the primary principle, considering the balance between provinces (autonomy regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), taking priority for the following projects: a) implemented in middle and western areas and national poverty counties; b) having gained prominent anti-poverty achievements; c) being of industrializing agriculture; d) being of entironment treatment and national land virescence treatment; e) being of science and technology innovation.
¡¡¡¡The application and recommendation of national key Guangcai Program projects is conducted in October every year. The number of national key Guangcai Program projects approved each year is decided on Secretary General Conference.
¡¡¡¡Enterprises to apply for key national Guangcai Program projects and CSPGP provincial branch to recommend key national Guangcai Program projects shall fill in unified application forms and recommendation forms according to regulations of CSPGP and then send them to the CSPGP.
The process of applying for, recommending and approving key national Guangcai Program projects is as follows:
¡¡¡¡1. Approved by CSPGP local branches, enterprises implementing Guangcai Program projects apply for national key Guangcai Program projects in written form and send requested materials.
2. CSPGP provincial branches review all applying projects, choose and recommend no more than 3 projects to the CSPGP (send to the CSPGP recommendation forms and requested materials).
¡¡¡¡3. The project department of the CSPGP reviews and investigates the projects recommended by provincial branches, and then puts forward the last recommended list of key projects.
¡¡¡¡4. The CSPGP secretary general conference reviews the recommended list and reports to the chairperson of the CSPGP for approval.
¡¡¡¡National key Guangcai Program projects are officially released and publicized by the CSPGP. The CSPGP will then issue national key Guangcai Program certificates to the implementing entity of the projects.
¡¡¡¡The project department of the CSPGP is responsible for the contact with the implementing entities of national key Guangcai Program projects and its local branches help the project department to aid and support the projects.
¡¡¡¡Guangcai Program projects are managed dynamically. Some national key Guangcai Program projects will be cancelled when they do not meet the requirements of key projects due to condition change.
¡¡¡¡The CSPGP starts progress statistics of all national key Guangcai Program projects every March 1st. The provincial branches of the CSPGP organize project-implementing entities to prepare the progress statistics forms according to requirements of the CSPGP. Progress statistics forms are required to be reported to the project department of the CSPGPG by every April 15.
¡¡¡¡Provincial braches of the CSPGP can have their own key Guangcai Program projects, while local branches below provincial ones cannot. Conditions, process for application, recommendation and approval and management regulations for provincial key Guangcai Program projects are decided on their own by the provincial branches (branches of autonomy regions or municipalities directly under the Central Government) of the CSPGP.
¡¡¡¡The project department of the CSPGP is the project management organization of the CSPGP. Its major responsibility is to manage key projects. The basic tasks of normalized management for project promotion is as follows: qualify Guangcai Program; perform all-round statistics and integrated analysis to Guangcai Program projects; approve key Guangcai Program projects; aid and support key Guangcai Program projects; select sample projects; publicize and spread the successful experience of sample projects; organize the compilation of materials of sample projects; communicate with supervising government body, financial organization, international organizations and other related units to obtain support for the projects; provide project dynamic and integrated information to related department and leaders; give comments and suggestions for projects.
¡¡¡¡The CSPGP classifies projects into implementation projects, key projects and sample projects. Implementation projects are managed by local branches and logged in to project database of the CSPGP. Key projects, with strict application and approval process, are managed jointly by the CSPGP and its local branches. Sample projects are those completed projects with prominent anti-poverty achievement. The CSPGP sets up samples for Guangcai Program projects through sample projects. Sample projects are recommended by local branches, investigated and verified by the CSPGP for exchange and publicity both in and outside China. The purpose of sample projects is to promote and spread the successful experience, publicize the achievements of Guangcai Program projects so as to expand the influence of Guangcai Program projects, seek for aid from all social walks of life and accelerate the all-round development of Guangcai Program projects.
¡¡¡¡2.3.National anti-poverty structure of CSPGP
¡¡¡¡The CSPGP anti-poverty projects have formed a structure of "one line, one patch and multi-point" through project selection, investigation and verification as well as policy coordination, fund supporting and service consultancy.
¡¡¡¡One line: One line means the line along Jingjiu railway that has developed plantation, breeding and processing bases. For example, Guangcai market in south Jiangxi covering an area of 80 thousands square meters has been set up, and Pinghu Hualong wholesale market in Shenzhen, Jiujiang railway station market, Anqing market and Guangcai wholesale market in Fuyang are also being implemented.
¡¡¡¡One patch: One patch means the area for the Three Georges project, immigrant arrangement and agriculture industrialization. This area has obtained its initial achievement and is regarded as a sample Guangcai Program area. According to the actual conditions there, the CSPGP puts forward a project plan "54321" for the area in the next five years, that is, within the next five years, the Guangcai Program projects will develop farming, mineral, water and electricity, and tourism resources, train 3000 technicians, implement 200 anti-poverty projects and establish 10 Guangcai schools to help 100,000 people to lead a well-off life.
¡¡¡¡Multi-point: Multi-point means that more than 150 national key Guangcai Program projects and many provincial key projects scatter nationwide and form a multi-point structure. This kind of structure achieves notable anti-poverty effect and these projects especially agricultural projects mainly scatter in middle and western areas. Now many Guangcai Program projects have been gradually incorporated into and act as an important part of national overall anti-poverty economic plan, for example, Ningxia anti-poverty Yanghuang project.
¡¡¡¡3. Anti-poverty project implementation modes
¡¡¡¡3.1. Anti-poverty project implementation modes in rural poverty-stricken areas
¡¡¡¡Key areas for development anti-poverty projects of the CSPGP are the poverty-stricken areas in mid and western China. By encouraging the people in those areas to be self-dependent and hard-working, with the aid and support of private entrepreneurs and with the market demand as the guide, the CSPGP calls the people to rely on science and technology advancement to exploit local resources so as to industrialize agricultural resources, develop commodity economy, provide adequate food and clothing for them and gradually enable them to lead a well-off life. The basic ways are:
¡¡¡¡ 1) To develop especially planting, breeding and processing industries that can directly solve the food and clothing problems of poverty-stricken areas.
¡¡¡¡2) Actively develop township enterprises in resource-developing and labor-intensive industries that can fully utilize resource advantages and labors of the poverty-stricken areas.
¡¡¡¡3) Develop systematic export of labor services to reasonably and orderly transfer labors in the poverty-stricken areas or to migrate farmers with special difficulty of living and development. The center of development anti-poverty projects is to help poverty-stricken people to foster self-development conditions that act as the basis in their process of gradually becoming well off. In the actual project implementation, Guangcai Program projects adjust measures according to local conditions and have adopted various anti-poverty modes in rural areas.
¡¡¡¡3.1.1. Agricultural development anti-poverty project mode: "enterprise + farmer household"
¡¡¡¡Industrial projects are not appropriate in some rural areas according to the adjustment of national industry policies and the actual conditions of poverty-stricken areas in China. Therefore, anti-poverty projects in those areas center mainly on agricultural development to implement anti-poverty activities to villages and farmer households. With market as the guide, household contract operation as the basis, enterprises as the main body, production operation as the tie, these development agricultural anti-poverty projects utilize capitals, technologies, operation and management experience of enterprises to organize farmer households dispersed in production and operation into socialized production. This is what is called "enterprise + farmer household' mode.
¡¡¡¡The "enterprise + farmer household" mode of Guangcai Program not only adds economic gains to poverty farmers, but also pushes forward in all-round way the economic and social development of poverty-stricken areas. During industrialized operation, "dragon" enterprises handle well the benefit distribution with farmers. They care not only their economic benefit and investment returns, but also the benefit of involved farmers.
¡¡¡¡ In addition, there are more industrialization modes besides "enterprise + farmer household" mode as follows:
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡1) Agricultural development with plantation and breeding industry. Typical representative is the agricultural integrated development zone project in Weichang County in Hebei implemented by Henghao Group. Zhangjiawan Township, Weichang County in Hebei Province is called as "the Great Northern Wilderness" because of its desolate lands. In 1996, the president of Henghao Group in Hebei with its employees camped on this land to cultivate thousands mu of sand lands there. After five years of arduous work, now there have been more than 7,000 mu of pastures and 1,000 mu of crops, 1.5 million sand thorn bushes and 1.5 million poplar trees. What's more, a boar breeding center accommodating ten thousands of boars has been set up to go with the planting projects.
¡¡¡¡ From the end of 1999, 17.94 million yuan has been invested to this project. After the normal operation of the project, food and clothing problems of 7,000 local farmers have been resolved, financial gains of the local government have increased and the enterprise itself has also gained considerable benefit from it.
¡¡¡¡2) Enterprise-centered factories. The typical representative is the feedstuff factories of New Hope Group distributed nationwide. The anti-poverty project of New Hope Group helps farmers to develop breeding industry so as to enable them a well-off life using its feedstuff factories as the "dragon head." Local branches of the group provide feedstuff, technologies and breeders to farmers and also help them to sell poultry. By utilizing its 10,000 of distribution branches, more than 20,000 of salespersons and thousands of science-spread teams from New Hope Group visit poverty-stricken farmers in towns and villages to teach and spread scientific breeding technologies and methods, and promote high-quality feedstuff through lectures, materials distributing, books donating£¬telephone teaching and video show. They set up science and technology sample villages and train breeding sample households.
¡¡¡¡¡¡3) Combination of agriculture, industry and trade. Typical representative is the konjak integrated processing project of Meili Group in western Hubei Province. Meili Group, chaired by private entrepreneur Fan Xiaoxian, set up a konjak processing base in western Hubei centered around Jingzhou and scattering around Shiyan and Enshi. It covers 60 thousands Mu of lands with the investment up to 160 million yuan. The base deals with the plantation, processing and sales of konjaks. Meili Group also sets up a high-tech sub-project "Konjak dextrose glycine" factory investing 63 million yuan. The factory mainly deals with the distilling of glycine for medical industry. The anti-poverty project mode of Meili Group is to incorporate the plantation industry of poverty-stricken areas as its raw material supply unit. Its development strategy is the industrialized operation mode "konjak base + konjak farmer + factory + high-tech development + international market + brand". Now the anti-poverty project mode "enterprise + farmer household" has enabled ten thousands of farmer households to lead a well-off life.
¡¡¡¡3.1.2. Development migration anti-poverty mode, typical representative: Ningxia anti-poverty Yanghuang project
¡¡¡¡Development migration anti-poverty project usually first helps people in scarce living conditions to migrate to areas with better living conditions and then organizes the people to implement development production and construction. This kind of project usually has to involve multiple private entrepreneurs. At present private entrepreneurs have taken part in Ningxia Yanghuang and Guangdong Qingxin development migration anti-poverty projects. Ningxia anti-poverty Yanghuang project is a large project involving both state government and private entrepreneurs.
¡¡¡¡Ningxia anti-poverty Yanghuang project is one part of the Eight-Seven Anti-Poverty Plan of China and the Dual-hundred Anti-poverty Plan of Ningxia Autonomy District. It leads water from Yellow river (Huang) to irrigate dry half-desert areas so that the wilderness turns fertile lands. The poverty-stricken people in mountain areas in south Ningxia then migrate to these irrigated areas so that their existence and development problems are resolved. Since the start of the project in 1998, the state government has invested 3 billion yuan. Together with the matched effort of local government, now there have 76 hundreds Mu of fertile lands and more than 4,000 migration households. There are now six towns and 36 villages in these areas, with the number of people amounting to 21,600.
¡¡¡¡In 1998, private entrepreneur Liu Jinhu donated 5 million yuan to establish a Guangcai Program migration new village accommodating more than 100 suites of houses. Each house has five rooms covering 97 square meters in total. Beside each house there is one mu of land for developing courtyard economics. Li Jiuliang in Xixia Gardening Farm provides free of charge medlar seedlings for gardening economics development in the new village. It also purchases and processes the medlars produced. Medlars are the typical and key agricultural plant developed in Ningxia and they have very good market prospects. Another private entrepreneur Ding Haiwang dealing with chemical fertilizer manufacturing sells on credit chemical fertilizers to villagers. Under the effort of many private entrepreneurs, Ningxia development migration anti-poverty project achieves great initial success.
¡¡¡¡3.1.3. Enterprise-driving resource utilization and development anti-poverty mode
¡¡¡¡1) Enterprise-driving natural resource utilization and development anti-poverty mode, typical representative: Shicun development project of Guangjiang group in Tuoli county in Xinjiang. In 1995, Guangjiang group in Xinjiang decided to utilize rich granite resources to build a granite exploration base to help people in Tuoli County to have a well-off life. It invested 43.8 million yuan and exploits 217 hundreds stere meters of granites every year. The granite base also brings along the development of related industries such as transportation and service. It resolves the unemployment problems of around one thousand people. In 1997, Guangjiang group merged Hongshi granite factory invested by Tuoli County and the factory with the investment of 10 million yuan and a loss of 4 million yuan quickly turned a new life after one year. Now the finance of Tuoli County increases 15 million yuan every year because of the success of this project and the related industry and employees also gain great benefit from it.
¡¡¡¡2) Enterprise-driving integrated resource development anti-poverty mode, typical representative: Tibet Qizheng Pharmacy Factory of Gansu Qizheng Group. The economics of Linzhi area in Tibet lags far behind other areas in the country due to its poor transportation conditions, lack of information and mineral resources. However, it has pure environment and abundant medical plant resources as well as Tibet-typical human culture. Gansu Qizheng group then decided to fully utilize the resource and traditional culture advantage of the Linzhi area by building factories to exploit the local integrated resources. In 1995, Qizheng group invested 10 million yuan to build Linzhi Qizheng Pharmacy Factory. The factory introduces modern advanced technologies and techniques and utilizes the local natural pharmacy plant resources to produce new-type Tibet medicine with high technologies and added values. In 1999, the sales value and the value-added tax of the factory respectively reached 150 million and 8.3 million yuan. It becomes one of the top 20 tax paying enterprises in Tibet and its total asset also reaches 180 million yuan. In the several years after its setup, it has employed more than 130 Tibet people (among them 51 disabled people). It has also donated more than 10 million yuan to build local schools, hospitals, roads and other commonwealth causes and has greatly promoted the social and economic development of Linzhi area.
¡¡¡¡3.1.4. Labor employment from poverty-stricken areas to cities or developed areas. Typical representative: Shenzhen CSPGP organizes rural labors from Guizhou and Jiangxi to Shenzhen.
¡¡¡¡Shenzhen is a new city with foreign-oriented economy. It has great demand of rural labors. In 1997, Shenzhen CSPGP worked with the municipal labor bureau and municipal economic co-operation office to put forward the slogan of "employing one rural worker leads one rural household into a well-off life". They called all state-owned enterprises to actively participate in anti-poverty projects of Shenzhen CSPGP and to employ rural labors in poverty-stricken areas. With the help and support of United Front Work Department and labor department of Guizhou and Jiangxi province, by the end of 1999 the project has employed more than 250 thousands rural labors from these two provinces.
¡¡¡¡3.1.5 Market-driving anti-poverty projects that promote production flow and economic development. Typical representative: Guangcai market in south Jiangxi.
¡¡¡¡One reason for poverty is poor merchandise flow channels and old merchandize consciousness. To change this, Shenzhen CSPGP initiated market anti-poverty activities in some poverty-stricken areas. Guangcai market in south Jiangxi invested by Shenzhen CSPGP, Hong Kong Chuangwei Group, Hong Kong Yingxin Group and Jiangxi government therefore was founded, covering 1,000 mu of lands and located in one of the largest freight organization station along Jingjiu railway, Ganzhou Eastern Station Square. The first phase of the project has developed 400 mu of lands with the construction areas of 230 thousands square meters. The Guangcai Program in south Jiangxi will become the largest merchandise wholesale market in southeast China and it will exert great influence on the economic development of the nine cities and eight counties in Fujian and Jiangxi around it. Therefore, it plays great roles in leading people in the revolutionary base into a well-off life.
1.6 Employment anti-poverty project that moves labor-intensive enterprises to inland areas. Typical representative: Yitong Electronics Factory
¡¡¡¡Labor-intensive enterprises in coastline areas are actively seeking for development opportunities in inland areas due to increase of labor cost. Therefore, moving to inland areas has become a normal phenomenon to enterprises in coastline areas. Shenshen CSPGP acts as a bridge for those enterprises that are going to move to former revolutionary base areas, areas inhabited by minority nationalities, remote and border areas and poverty-stricken areas. For example, to support Guangcai Program, the president of Hong Kong Yitong Electronics Co, Ltd., Wen Yijin couple, invested 80 million yuan to found an electronics factory in national poverty county Ruyuan, the limestone area in north Guangdong. The factory creates several thousands of positions. The couple also donated to found Xijin Elementary School.
¡¡¡¡3.1.8 Intelligence anti-poverty project with multi-mode talent training and educating
¡¡¡¡Setting up talent training base in former revolutionary base areas, areas inhabited by minority nationalities, remote and border areas and poverty-stricken areas and organizing officials in poverty-stricken areas to visit and study in developing areas are the major modes of intelligence anti-poverty projects. Private entrepreneurs cut down fees or charge no fees in their own private universities or colleges for those students excellent both scholastically and morally but unable to be admitted to universities due to poverty. The typical representative of this kind of intelligence anti-poverty projects is Yongchuan Guangcai Economics and Technology College in Chongqing.
3.1.8 Commonwealth donation supporting education and commonwealth
¡¡¡¡Private entrepreneurs have donated more than 400 million yuan to support education and commonwealth causes in poverty-stricken areas by the end of 2,000. The donation has mainly been used to set up Guangcai elementary schools and water supply and drinking projects in those areas.
¡¡¡¡3.2 Urban anti-poverty projects
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡3.2.1. Market-driving anti-poverty projects
In market-driving anti-poverty projects, the market accelerates ¡¡¡¡production flow and economic development in one hand and it also absorbs more people to be employed on the other hand. At the beginning, the CSPGP implements market-driving anti-poverty projects mainly in poverty-stricken areas and then widely in large and middle cities by combining Guangcai Program and re-employment projects. Therefore, Guangcai Program is expanded from rural to urban areas. Now around 20 market-driving anti-poverty projects initiated by Shenzhen CSPGP is widely implemented in some large and middle cities such as Anqing, Wuhan, Shanghai, Huhot and Shenyang etc. The objective of these projects is to help unemployed workers to be re-employed.
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡3.2.2. Anti-poverty projects through setting up enterprises to re-employ unemployed workers
¡¡¡¡Private enterprises have always been a major channel to re-employ unemployed workers. Guangcai Program projects in urban areas are implemented mainly through setting up enterprises to re-employ in first priority unemployed workers especially in the third industry. According to statistics of the CSPGP by the end of 2,000, Guangcai Program in urban areas has employed 907.1 thousand unemployed workers.
¡¡¡¡According to incomplete statistics, by the end of 2003, the number of direct participants from non-state-owned economic entity in CSPGP projects (with investment of no less than 500,000 yuan) has reached 14,407, the number of CSPGP projects has reached 9,765, the actual investment put to the projects has reached 52.4 billion yuan, the number of persons trained has reached 2.0 million, the number of persons employed in these projects, 2.1 million, the warmth and hunger problems of 4.6 million people has been resolved, and 8.5 billion yuan has been donated to education and other public welfare causes.
