Unfortunately, while acknowledging the massive improvements over the past few decades, poverty still exist in China today. Even Dengists acknowledge this, though they do clarify their belief that it's a necessary evil until China has the productive capacity to transition to full Socialism. Though again, Chinese poverty reduction in the past few decades is monumental; all the more so when compared to the total stagnation (if not worsening) in that front when considering the Capitalist world.
I would put forward the GDR as the state which managed to eliminate poverty to the absolute fullest extent ever seen. Read the top reply to this quora question, by someone who lived there, and it seems a Utopia in comparison to present day America.
China's typically been relatively transparent in what their plans are. Right now it's to achieve "Socialist Modernization by 2035", beyond that their aren't any firm dates. However, it's important to note that despite the perception of many leftists; China has not been cynically delaying the planned date for achieving Socialism, in fact 2035 is 15 years earlier than when Deng believed China would reach the same stage.
It's reasonable to argue that their so called "Socialist Modernization" is Socialist in name only, however, the Chinese approach has been very effective in eliminating poverty over the past few decades, which is what the parent comment was about.
I may be wrong but I believe China is the closest existing large civilization to this

There's few things I desire more than for my children to grow up in a world without any homelessness, and that was the reality in the GDR.
