China has made remarkable achievements in poverty governance. It is of far-reaching significance to observe and inter-pret poverty reduction in China from the perspective of human rights. Mainstreaming human rights provides a two-way perspective of ob-servation. It can help observe poverty reduction in the “kaleidoscope”of human rights, and also can help understand human rights through poverty reduction, in particular, observe the status and development trend of human rights in national governance through the “gover-nance revolution” triggered by poverty governance. An examination of poverty governance from the perspective of human rights will reveal that poverty alleviation has become a major “human rights project”. The discourse, goals and approaches to poverty reduction have been marked with human rights imprints, and they are ultimately translated into the realization of the right to be free from poverty in the two dimensions of survival and development. To examine human rights through poverty reduction will reveal that the way of poverty governance is changing , which implies a development view based on human rights, and stimulates the subjectivity of citizens in the trend of democratic participation and pluralistic governance. The above change drives and advances the mainstreaming of human rights in the field of national governance and the deep change of governance. Defi-nitely, how these signs and trends continue to thrive in a broader field and obtain more institutional support after 2020 in the post-poverty alleviation era.
