"Determined Leadership" is one of the "5Ds" that the China's Poverty Alleviation Studies report summarized as the useful references which may be inspiring for other countries to develop their own way of poverty reduction.

China's leader, President Xi Jinping, has made poverty alleviation the country's top priorit. Political economy theory shows that when a particular task becomes the top priority of a country's top leader and is continuously implemented, it creates a strong national will and drives allocation of resources.

In addition to the leaders' own will, a country's leadership lies in the leadership of its political parties. There is no doubt that poverty alleviation is a vivid manifestation of the leadership of the CPC.
