The great migration of China For four years, Michael A. Lev has been the Chicago Tribune's Beijing correspondent, reporting from throughout the country on China's growing influence in the world's economy, on its human-rights record and on the rich history of its people. Before moving to Beijing in 2000, he spent four years as the Tribune's Tokyo correspondent. For rural China's destitute farmers such as the Bai family, jobs exported to the cities--many from America--offer a profound new hope for a better life. A story in three parts PART 1 OF 3: Migration of a nation December 26, 2004 chicagotribune.com SIDEBAR: Chained to life of poverty December 26, 2004 chicagotribune.com PART 2 OF 3: The factory nuns of urban China December 27, 2004 chicagotribune.com chicagotribune.com ========================================= My comment: Chairman Mao once said, the problem of China is the problem of peasants. So whoever in power should be able to solve farmers livelihood in order to keep the social stability of China. The strategy of the present Chinese gov. is to resort to urbanization as much as possible and as fast as possible. The latest data shows that 166 cities in China have a population of 1 million or more (the US only has 10), and the total urban population now stands at 500 million (there were only 250 million or so urban population in China in 1978). It is estimated that the urban population of China will reach 650 million - 700 million by 2010 (accounts for about 50% of pop. then). Accompanied with this historically unprecedented huge migration from rural to urban areas, many social conflicts will arise. So how China's future plays out will depends on how well Chinese leadership solve all those conflict.
