From "Four Decades of Poverty Reduction in China":

"Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below US$1.90 per day has fallen by close to 800 million, accounting for close to three-quarters of global poverty reduction since 1980. At China’s current poverty standards, the number of poor people in China fell by 770 million. By any measure, the speed and scale of China’s poverty reduction is historically unprecedented."

According to it, if you are malnourished and physically stunted because of it, you can still be classified as not poor if you have a phone.

Next the US will claim to have solved homelessness because you can't possibly be homeless if you have a phone.
