CPPCC Chairman and PBSC member Wang Yang spoke on October 21 at the conference organised by the United Front Work Department (UFWD) to commemorate continuation of the “Guangcai Program”, which was “launched in 1994 by China's private enterprises in a bid to aid the country's poverty-relief efforts.” Wang Yang said “China is still in the preliminary stages of socialism” and that the “Guangcai Program” can play a great role in “lessening the gap between rich and poor and realizing collective prosperity".
