Thanks for the link. Yes, I have read of these reforms. The Central Committee of the Party, et al know that it's either effective reform or there will be more civil unrest and possibly revolution.

The status of migrant workers is just one of several existential problems that the Party faces.

Soon "urban and rural residents in the city will enjoy the same rights and be free to move between downtown areas and countryside, making Chengdu the first Chinese city to eliminate the difference between rural and urban hukou."

I've read that city folks everywhere just do not accept the migrant workers as equals. It's going to take the Communist Party's patented crackdown on the city folks to make them accept the changes.

BTW, every one of the Red Chinese Communists' crimes against their own citizens was a contemporaneous event for me.

I heard about a lot of the crimes on radio and the network news of the late forties and beyond.

After Mao I know that Deng patterned economic "reforms" after Lenin's New Economic Plan (NEP) and IMO it's only a matter of time before the Chi-coms simply take the property of, what Lenin called, the useful idiots. Who's going to stop them? Actually, who can blame them? They need that wealth for the benefit of their own, why let foreigners continue to take wealth away from the "people?"

Thanks for your comment. A learning experience. ;)
