"[There is] only five to six years left for us to complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, time will not wait for us."
Speaking in an inspection in southwest China's Yunnan Province that lasted from Jan. 19 to 21, Xi said authorities must accelerate poverty elimination efforts to support the building of a moderately prosperous country.
Authorities must expedite poverty relief work -- with more action than words, he urged, adding that measures must be more effective.
