It should be discussed at the NPC & CPPCC meetings. I am not sure if any deputies would raise this issue.

It can be led back to the imperfect system that assesses government performance at the current stage. The "victims" of this conflict are the groups of agricultural workers who lack spokespeople to assert their benefits, as well as the natural environment that is being depleted.

But now, where the poverty is stronger, the pollution is worse. Rich nations are polluting poor ones and developed areas are contaminating underdeveloped regions.

This results in changing the original purposes of the poverty-alleviating efforts from a charity cause into something with negative results. The cause gets caught in a vicious circle as more efforts are made, people who are supposed to shake off poverty are stuck in a worse situation.
