THE CHINESE RURAL-URBAN DUALITY AND ITS FUTURE

THE CHINESE RURAL-URBAN DUALITY AND ITS FUTURE Abstract Rural-urban duality in China is more outstanding than in other developing countries. Residents in cities and the countryside have been split into two different societies and profit blocs. Rural-urban separation has brought about damaging effects, such that urbanization has seriously lagged behind with much poverty in the countryside. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen reform and find corresponding solutions. This paper suggests the following: - to draw up a basic strategy for rural-urban harmonious development and to set up a new relationship of rural-urban cooperation and integration. - to speed up the process of urbanization. - cities and the countryside should help each other. The basic status of agriculture should be strengthened, and urban industry and rural industry are to cooperate rationally. - both cities and the countryside should collaborate to alleviate the ‘labour mass’, and the urgent matter is to accelerate the reform of the census register system. The peasant problem is a fundamental problem in Chinese revolutionary and modernization construction. Chinese modernization is actually rural modernization. However, the difficult point of Chinese modernization lies in enriching peasants and in agricultural modernization, which also is the start point of rural-urban coordinated development. Therefore it is of important theoretical and practical significance to study the characteristics of China's rural-urban relation, the negative effects of its rural-urban separation as well as the solution in setting up a new rural-urban relationship. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asian Geographer Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Abstract Rural-urban duality in China is more outstanding than in other developing countries. Residents in cities and the countryside have been split into two different societies and profit blocs. Rural-urban separation has brought about damaging effects, such that urbanization has seriously lagged behind with much poverty in the countryside. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen reform and find corresponding solutions. This paper suggests the following: - to draw up a basic strategy for rural-urban harmonious development and to set up a new relationship of rural-urban cooperation and integration. - to speed up the process of urbanization. - cities and the countryside should help each other. The basic status of agriculture should be strengthened, and urban industry and rural industry are to cooperate rationally. - both cities and the countryside should collaborate to alleviate the ‘labour mass’, and the urgent matter is to accelerate the reform of the census register system. The peasant problem is a fundamental problem in Chinese revolutionary and modernization construction. Chinese modernization is actually rural modernization. However, the difficult point of Chinese modernization lies in enriching peasants and in agricultural modernization, which also is the start point of rural-urban coordinated development. Therefore it is of important theoretical and practical significance to study the characteristics of China's rural-urban relation, the negative effects of its rural-urban separation as well as the solution in setting up a new rural-urban relationship.
