History
editLeading Group of "Three xi" Region Agricultural Construction
editOn December 22, 1982, the General Office of the State Council issued a notice (General Office of the State Council issued [1982] No. 85) regarding the establishment of the "three xi" (Hexi, Dingxi, Xihaigu) region agricultural construction leading group.[5] The notice stated that the State Council had decided to establish the "three xi" (Hexi, Dingxi, Xihaigu) regional agricultural construction leading group in order to expedite the construction of the Gansu Hexi Corridor commodity grain base and transform the face of poverty in Gansu.[6] The daily work was managed by the Leading Group's office, which was situated in the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and Fishery.[7][8]
The State Council Leading Group on Economic Development of Impoverished Areas was established on May 16, 1986, by the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the Establishment of the State Council Leading Group on Economic Development of Impoverished Areas (Guo Ban Fa [1986] No. 39). Zhu Rong (Chinese: 朱荣) served as the group's chairman. Yang Yongzhe (Chinese: 杨雍哲) concurrently served as the director of the Office, which was established under the State Council Leading Group Office of Economic Development of Impoverished Areas ("Development Office") and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and Fishery.[9]
On July 18, 1988, the State Council issued "the General Office of the State Council on the adjustment of the State Council Leading Group of economic development of impoverished areas" (State Office of the State Council issued [1988] No. 30). This decision resulted in the merger of the State Council Leading Group of economic development of impoverished areas and the "three xi" region of the Leading Group of Agricultural Construction. Zhu Rong presided over the day-to-day work of the State Council Leading Group for Economic Development of Impoverished Areas, and Li Zhong (Chinese: 黎中) was divided into responsibility for the "three xi" region. The "Development Office" was established in the Ministry of Agriculture by the State Council Leading Group of Economic Development in Impoverished Areas. Yang Yongzhe concurrently served as the office's director. Simultaneously, Liu Guangzu (Chinese: 刘光祖) was appointed as the superintendent of the "three xi" regional office, which is co-located with the Development Office.[10]
State Council Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development
editOn September 17, 1993, the State Council Leading Group of Economic Development of Impoverished Areas issued "the General Office of the State Council on adjusting the name and members of the State Council Leading Group of Economic Development of Impoverished Areas" (State Office of the State Council [1993] No. 62). The group was renamed the State Council Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development.[11] The name was officially altered to the State Council Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development on December 28, 1993, and the Office of the State Council Leading Group on Poverty Alleviation and Development was established under it.[12][13]
The Circular of the General Office of the State Council on the Adjustment of the Members of the State Council Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development (Guo Ban Fa [1998] No. 24) was issued on May 18, 1998. The circular stipulated that "the Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development of the State Council shall establish a distinct office in the Ministry of Agriculture, and Gao Hongbin serves as the office's director."[14]
On February 25, 2002, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party issued the "General Office of the State Council on the issuance of the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development of the function of the configuration of the internal structure and staffing provisions of the notice" (Guo Ban Fa [2002] No. 17). The State Council approved the former Ministry of Agriculture within the Office of the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development of the Ministry of Agriculture, set up a separate and upgraded to the level of vice-ministerial level for the State Council Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development.[15]
The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the specific work, while the National Government Offices Administration manages the logistical affairs and retirement expenses of the Office of the State Council Leading Group of Poverty Alleviation and Development. The Foreign Capital Project Management Center of the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development, the National Training Center for Cadres in Poverty-stricken Areas, and the China Poverty Alleviation and Development Service Center, which were previously under the management of the Ministry of Agriculture, have been transferred to the Office of the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development. These institutions were directly under the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development.[15]
The National Rural Revitalization Administration, a state bureau under the administration of the State Council's ministries and commissions, was established in January 2021 by the State Council to coordinate the specific work of promoting the rural revitalization strategy throughout the country.[16] The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is responsible for the bureau's operation. In accordance with this, the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development was abolished.[17]
