The average annual per capita disposable income of those who have got rid of poverty in Tibet exceeds 10,000 yuan (about 1,555 U.S. dollars), said a white paper issued Friday by China's State Council Information Office.
It is an indication that the positive results of poverty elimination have been consolidated, said the paper titled "Tibet Since 1951: Liberation, Development and Prosperity," adding that it was the democratic reform in Tibet that led to leapfrog progress in its social system, and the fight against poverty secured historic improvements in its ways of life.
