In an exclusive interview with CMG, world-renowned economist Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University praised the Chinese mainland's eradication of extreme poverty as a "great historical accomplishment."
Sachs, author of "The End of Poverty," spotlighted the Chinese mainland's leap from a poor country in 1980 to one that eliminated absolute poverty by 2020. He argues this transformation offers a clear "roadmap" for development, particularly for economies in Africa.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, Sachs’s insights underscore the potential of ambitious goals and collaborative action. The Chinese mainland's journey now sparks a global dialogue on how to end extreme poverty worldwide.
