Abstract: The assistance for rural households in poverty-stricken regions during China’s poverty alleviation drive includes both top-down assistance as well as cross-regional and cross-sector assistance. These assistant efforts have enabled China to develop a poverty alleviation pattern involving various entities with distinctive features. Some of the special measures implemented during the drive have made some regions and rural households become heavily reliant on external assistance. For instance, the industrial development and employment issues are overly dependent on governments and non-government sectors; poor households wait for income from government transfer payment; and the governance of impoverished villages count on support from poverty alleviation workers. If these problems are not addressed in a timely manner, it will be hard for the government to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation and affect the promotion of rural revitalization in poverty-stricken areas. During the transitional period, related departments need to focus on enhancing the endogenous impetus of rural households in poverty-stricken areas, provide appropriate assistance rendered by the government and non-government sectors and foster a mechanism to integrate external assistance with endogenous impetus so as to properly link up poverty alleviation achievements with the drive of rural revitalization.
