JOHANNESBURG, June 18 (Xinhua) -- To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Chinese Consulate General in Johannesburg launched an online gallery of China's poverty alleviation with the theme of "Creating Better Lives, Creating Miracles" from June 18 to December 15.
The Consulate General has selected more than 100 photos from more than 30 provinces and regions in China, in order to showcase the journey of poverty alleviation. The online gallery can be accessed at www.cpapg.co.za.
"In the journey of fight against poverty, China has explored and developed a large number of new ideas, new strategies and new methods," wrote Consul General Tang Zhongdong in a signed article in local newspapers on the same day.
"The Chinese-style development, represented by the Chinese-style poverty alleviation, has been proved to be effective in practice. We would like to share our strategies with the world, and we also expect that the experience of China's successful poverty alleviation might be used as a reference for those countries and regions in the process of poverty reduction," he said.
"Chinese and African peoples have always been good brothers and good partners. In spite of differences in the specific circumstances or environmental backgrounds, both China and Africa face the same nature of poverty. We intend to use this gallery to share the joy and experience of our success with our African brothers so that they can gain a deep understanding of China and the governing concepts of the CPC," Tang said.
