The State Council is drafting a new ten-year poverty-reduction plan (2011-2020), in which the current poverty line of 1,196 yuan per year (about 0.5 U.S. dollars a day) will be greatly raised, Wen told a panel meeting of the ongoing2 session of the National People's Congress (NPC).
The nation will intensify3 its poverty alleviation4 efforts through aids and development, focusing on large areas of destitute5 population, he said to a group of NPC deputies from Gansu, one of the poorest regions in China.
According to the United Nations' standard of one dollar per person each day, China still has 150 million people under the poverty line.
