China Announces One-Time Cash Handouts for Extreme Poverty Ahead of National Day

The financial aid aims to support orphans and the extremely poor, as part of broader economic stimulus measures.

The handouts will be distributed to disadvantaged groups, including orphans and those in extreme poverty, before October 1.
This initiative is part of a broader stimulus package designed to inject 1 trillion yuan into China's struggling economy.
China's Ministry of Civil Affairs emphasized the importance of timely distribution to show government support for those in need.
Reactions on Chinese social media have been mostly positive, although concerns about corruption and effective distribution persist.
The announcement coincides with efforts to promote high-quality employment and address youth joblessness in the country.
