Urban society coming too soon for China

NANNING - China may not be ready for a society dominated by cities, experts warned on Tuesday, citing the country's quick urbanization.

Nearly half of China's population works and lives in urban areas, said senior researcher Zheng Zhenzhen on Tuesday.

But it's not real urbanization as most of the migrants, particularly those from the countryside, still find it hard to integrate into urban life and be treated fairly, said the expert with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences at the China-ASEAN Forum on Population and Family Development.
