"To solve the problems emerging amid China's efforts to urbanize, there are several factors that the government should keep in mind. [For example,] authorities should ensure that rural residents can have a better life after their hometowns are urbanized. They should be guaranteed the same privileges as city dwellers as well as the same improvements in their living conditions."

Zheng Junkang, deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC) and secretary of Liuzhou city committee of the Communist Party of China commenting on urbanization, quoted by the Xinhua News Agency.
