@AlienBusDriver first of all, they can barely afford to eat. Second the local government rarely give out passports. Second, after Mao's "era" in China, people are afraid of the government.
@AlienBusDriver Well, you dont get a equal education and you are not allowed to get in the city schools and heath-care system if you are registered as a villager.
@Whatsup1492 That doesnt sound fair though, what if I am in a village and I wont to live and find better conditions for my family? Urban population is the city workers and the normal people correct?
@AlienBusDriver your friend is talking about the poor villages all over china (Western & Eastern China) Living conditions are very bad, heath care and basic supplies sometimes don't even exist. If you drive 30~40km out of Beijing you can find villages like this. Also china have this "registered residence" policy. You are divided into 2 types of people by where you were born. So if you live in a village, you don't get anything from the government and you cannot leave the village to live-
@Whatsup1492 what is it like, my friend tells me the common people dont even use toilets, they just piss in bins, this sounds very far removed from the west which I am use too. I have a toilet, I have welfare if Im sick China I guess doesnt offer this.
Mao told Kim that Henry Kissinger told good jokes and Nixon was a good poker player, wonder if Nixon sat in the same chair

The DMZ was quiet, both USSR and China were courting Nixon because of crop failures
