China’s Two-Class System: Urban and Rural

Roots In order to fully understand the difference between classes between rural and urban areas I am talking about, it is important to look at the history from this separation roots and initial separation to the present. By observing the history related to separation, it can be inferred that urban people benefit from rural population disorder; a clear sign of Marxist class system. The Communist Party of China held power in 1949. Since then, the change in regional disparity is quite consistent with the stage of Chinese history.

China's land itself is also divided into two political categories, rural and urban so that the population of China can be divided into rural and urban areas by family register. The division of these categories is similar to the concept of division in the United States. The specific land that can be used is determined by its rural or city classification. When the land is classified as "city", it is "city" because it is managed by the municipal government. In order to answer the mystery that I suggested, Yangshuo belongs to Guilin administrative support, so it is necessary to state that Yangshuo is part of Guilin. People say they go to Guilin because they are the main 'protective umbrella' in the area, but they actually mean they go to Yangshuo, this scenic village is full of tourists is.

China has a double labor market, rural and urban. The registration and identification system called "hukou" ensures a tight boundary between the two markets. People born in rural areas can get "agricultural fuku" or rural poppy. People in the city get "non-agricultural lake" or city lake. According to household registration, individuals are entitled to certain benefits only in certain areas. People living in rural areas can not benefit from the urban dwellers and vice versa.

The family register system is an "invisible wall" that divides China into two systems, urban and rural (Chan, 1994; Chan, Zhang, 1999). This system aims to prevent workers from moving from rural areas to urban areas (Cai et al., 2002). Migration from rural areas to urban areas is strictly controlled, and if you want to move, you must obtain approval from the authorities. Despite the strict regulations before the 1980s, migration from rural areas to urban areas was limited in the first decade of the People's Republic of China (Lary, 1997). After that, restrictions on labor migration were further relaxed by relaxing the family register system (Liu, Wu, 2006). Most temporarily dismissed workers are fascinated by increased development opportunities in urban areas and improved living conditions, so many rural laborers are moving to urban areas and looking for new jobs.
