Everyone has the right and responsibility to above poverty work. The state also has the right and the responsibility to implement an economy in which these rights and responsibilities of individuals are implemented. 

That's a modern view of 'socialism' in a modern fiat-currency economy, wherein both individual success AND collective well being are manifested.

So all Chinese people currently have this right, but not all Australians?

A 'right' is empty rhetoric unless it is accessible by all.

The CCP has common prosperity as it guiding light, and has eradicated absolute poverty among 1.4 billion people in a mere 40 years, on the way to achieving a "prosperous socialist society in all respects" by 2035.

Whereas Oz, despite being a rich 1st world economy, has no such guiding principle, and is stuck with a dysfunctional "sink or swim" economy, which merely offers the crumbs of a 'welfare' safety-net for those who cannot compete in the free market economy.
