60% of Chinese will live in cities in 20 years

Huang Wenqing grew up in a remote village in Anhui province, where his family were pig farmers. Today he is a team manager in a car components factory in the suburbs of Beijing.

Huang, 32, is part of a huge wave of rural workers streaming into China's cities in search of better opportunities.

People like him have been driving the country's fast urbanization, a process which will see six out of every 10 Chinese people living in cities in 20 years, according to a top development planning official.
