Learned the other day about the inter-country immigration that occurs in china, and how a flawed system tends to inadvertently oppress migrant workers throughout various provinces and cities across china. People born in a city are pretty well set up, they are allowed to use the health systems in city, have their children go to the city schools, and use the government provided services in the city itself. Where you are born is the services you can use, so if you need a major surgical operation, better hope you are not a migrant worker 2000 miles away from your place of birth. This sucks for migrants and their families, because people often marry, then the spouse that works typically leaves the villages to make money in the cities to provide for their family back home. This tends to show the breakdown of familial life in China, the oppression of migrant workers in cities, and the inability of migrants to be given the services they need to flourish in the state by the government. This is the flaw of an authoritarian regime, and it is becoming more of topic of discussion in recent years, with much more reform being discussed by government and party officials.
