At the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, global Goal 1 6 eradicating poverty in all its forms 6 took center stage. China’s poverty alleviation story has emerged as a standout model worth studying.
Mohamed Jihad, a young Egyptian graduate of Ain Shams University in Chinese language and now a foreign expert at the China International Communications Group, recounted how his time in China reshaped his view of what’s possible. "What China has achieved is almost a miracle," he said, highlighting the scale of the population challenge.
Jihad’s firsthand insights spotlight the power of sustained effort, cross-sector collaboration, and learning across borders. His experience adds a fresh perspective to global debates on making Goal 1 a reality.
For young global citizens and changemakers, stories like Jihad’s remind us that international exchange can drive meaningful impact. How will you join the fight against poverty?
