Officials from Yunnan province on Tuesday announced that all of its impoverished rural residents have been lifted above the current poverty line.

More than 8.8 million rural residents in the province were living in poverty in 2012.

All 88 counties in the province that were designated by the government as poverty-stricken have shrugged off absolute poverty, as have 8,502 impoverished villages, said Ruan Chengfa, newly appointed Party chief of Yunnan.
