Nearly 740,000 Yunnan People Escape Poverty
About 738,000 people in southwest China's Yunnan Province escaped poverty in 2001, an official of the provincial government said at a working conference on poverty relief.

He noted that the province spent 2.75 billion yuan (about 325 million U.S.dollars) last year on poverty relief, which covered a series of projects.

Statistics show that the average annual net income of farmers in the 73 poverty-stricken Yunnan counties reached 1,150 yuan ( about 138.6 U.S. dollars) in 2001, an increase of 4 percent compared with the previous year.

Yunnan is among China's provinces which possess the largest poverty-stricken population. The province has realized its goal of helping more people escape poverty.
