From China Daily: “Guangdong Province in South China is planning to take even bolder steps in reforms to household registration in the new year, with the aim of scrapping rural household registration system that is preventing farmers from enjoying many rights and advantages enjoyed by their urban peers.
‘That means all the farmers in Guangdong will become ‘urban’ residents in the years ahead,’ said Zheng Shaodong, deputy director-general of the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Public Security.”
