China in 42 years, 1978-2020, far less than a single lifetime, has gone from one of the world's poorest countries, with more than 850 million people living in internationally defined poverty, to the brink of becoming a high-income economy by World Bank standards. It has achieved total elimination of ab-solute poverty and the world's fastest rise in average living standards - with life expectancy figures showing that its social conditions are even better than this economic result.
This achievement, by a wide margin, has improved the position of by far the largest proportion of humanity of any event in human history.
