'Moderate prosperity in China is evident in all aspects: a buoyant economy, political democracy, a flourishing culture, social equity, healthy ecosystems, balanced development between urban and rural areas to the benefit of all people,' the so-called white paper stated.

By eliminating extreme poverty, China has won the biggest and toughest battle against poverty in human history to the benefit of the largest number of people. The achievements help secure the right to food, safe drinking water, essential medical services, safe housing for the poor, and compulsory education in more impoverished areas. 

On July 1, President Xi Jinping declared the realization in China of a moderately prosperous society or Xiaokang.

That announcement coincided with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party, which successfully guided the eastern nation to move from a backward territory to become the world's second power and a benchmark in technology and innovation, among other fields.
