5. Wei Yan'an, an expert from the Poverty Alleviation Office of the Ministry of Commerce, talks about the exploration of e-commerce poverty alleviation
On May 30, at the 2019 China E-commerce Conference E-commerce Poverty Alleviation Forum, the Ministry of Commerce/State Council Poverty Alleviation Office invited e-commerce expert Wei Yan'an to deliver a speech entitled "Innovation and Practical Exploration of E-commerce Targeted Poverty Alleviation Path". He said that simply equating things sold in poor areas with the achievements of e-commerce poverty alleviation, simply equating the amount of things sold in poor households with the amount of income that helps poor households increase their income, and simply equating things sold in this village with helping a poor household in this village get rid of poverty, is not accurate enough. In the next step, we must work hard on accuracy and determine exactly which household has helped the platform sell things and how much money has increased by helping him sell things.
