“五級書記”

中國共產黨的領導是中國脫貧攻堅最大的政治優勢。“五級書記”是指省、市、縣、鄉四級黨委書記和村黨支部書記。脫貧攻堅是省市縣鄉村五級書記一起抓的一把手工程，是一項極其重大、極為嚴肅的政治任務。

中共中央決定，脫貧攻堅任務重的省區市的黨政一把手簽訂脫貧攻堅責任書，向中央作出承諾，并且要層層落實責任，省市縣鄉村五級書記一起抓扶貧。同時，應充分發揮貧困地區和貧困人口作為脫貧攻堅主體的作用。貧困人口的脫貧、貧困地區的發展，需要黨和政府的幫助，需要各方面的支持，但最終還是要靠自身努力。必須激發貧困地區、貧困人口的內生動力，鼓勵他們自力更生、艱苦奮斗、勤勞致富、自強不息，在國家政策支持下，在各方面支持下，靠自己的雙手改變貧窮面貌，改變落后的命運。

習近平強調，要把實施鄉村振興戰略擺在優先位置，堅持五級書記抓鄉村振興，讓鄉村振興成為全黨全社會的共同行動。通過實現鄉村產業振興、人才振興、文化振興、生態振興、組織振興，推動農業全面升級、農村全面進步、農民全面發展。

CPC Secretaries at Five Levels Responsible for Poverty Elimination

The CPC leadership is China's biggest political strength in its poverty elimination effort. The five levels refer to the Party committees of provinces, cities (prefectures), counties and townships, and the Party branches of villages. For Party secretaries at these five levels, poverty elimination is a serious political task that they must take on the responsibility to fulfill.

The CPC Central Committee has decided that in places with challenging poverty elimination work, the heads of provincial-level Party committees and governments will assume overall responsibility and sign written pledges to the central leadership, and they and their subordinates at all levels will be responsible for poverty alleviation under their jurisdiction.

Poor people and poor regions will play a key role in poverty elimination. In addition to assistance from the CPC, the government and other social sectors, they need to rely on themselves. They must be inculcated with an internal drive to better themselves.

Xi Jinping emphasizes giving top priority to the rural revitalization strategy, and having Party secretaries at five levels take charge of the implementation. The vision is to promote the overall upgrading of agriculture and progress of rural areas and farmers through developing economic activities, cultural progress, and eco-environmental conservation.
