Urbanization in China is currently a big deal and a highly controversial topic.  With China’s booming economic and population growth, urbanization is something that China is going to have to deal with.  This article discusses a point brought about Xi Jinping, a man who holds a position in China relative to the president in the United States.  His point about urbanization is that it shouldn’t be about building large cities or skyscrapers, but rather it should be about moving the country from a rural setting to a more up to date urban/modern one.  He believes that the future of China lies promoting growth of rural areas, but not by turning them into something they are not.

                Xi argues that for a better standard of living for the Chinese people, urbanization is a must.  He cites statistics that show that when areas become more and more urbanized, wages for jobs worked rise and the general standard of living rises as well.  People are more happy with their lives and it leads to an overall more healthy nation.  Urbanization is very important for China because without it, the Chinese people would slowly lose grasp with the rest of the modern world, and China would lose its standing as one of the world’s largest economic powers.
