The most arduous tasks associated with achieving moderate prosperity throughout Chinese society are those in rural areas,particularly impoverished rural areas.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in 2012,President Xi Jinping has focused firmly on poverty alleviation through the development of transport,and he personally formulated and promoted the Four-Guarantee Rural Roads Initiative(which seeks to guarantee that roads in rural areas are well built,managed,maintained,and operated),issuing important instructions,and taking an interest in whether ordinary rural people have good roads outside their front doors.
