China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) has made good progress in its poverty alleviation efforts.

According to Zu Bin, president of CNNC, the company carries out poverty alleviation efforts in four aspects.

The first is to make good use of local policies, infrastructure, and e-commerce; the second is to give play to the important role of the internal market and the broad external market in poverty alleviation; the third is to strengthen education and training to enhance poverty alleviation capabilities; the fourth is to stimulate the spontaneous motivation of the poor.
