Bill Gates urges China's richest to give to charity in People's Daily article

Bill Gates has called on China’s richest to be more charitable in an article in a Communist Party newspaper, amid an ongoing effort by the world’s richest man to spread the message of philanthropy.

Gates currently runs the US$40.2 billion Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has been working in China, the world’s second-largest economy, since 2007.

He appealed on China's rich to "invest in the poor" for their own sake. "Only if we help the poor to rid themselves of illnesses and problems, the entire world can achieve sustainable development," he wrote.
