People's Daily journalist Li Zhiwei interviews Robert Lawrence Kuhn (left).
How did achieve its victory over extreme poverty? What drives its commitment to common prosperity? And why is China's development approach described as "people-centred"?
Robert Lawrence Kuhn, chairman of the Kuhn Foundation in the United States, recently discussed these questions with People's Daily, exploring the historical lessons of China's anti-poverty campaign and the contemporary relevance of its common prosperity goals.
Since the 1980s, Kuhn has actively introduced China's development achievements to international audiences. He has meticulously studied China's poverty alleviation efforts, producing the documentary Voices from the Frontline: China's War on Poverty and authoring works such as The Inside Story of China's 30-Year Reform. These works have helped explain China's significant progress in reducing poverty to the world, for which he was honoured with the China Reform Friendship Medal.
