      normal Chinese, what do you mean? These are migrant workers who wish to save most of the money by choosing a cheap rent. They can choose to live in apartments as well but it will eat up a lot of their savings, which they don't prefer.

    • @GoodCitizen-gm1tl
      @GoodCitizen-gm1tl 5 месяцев назад

      depends on which city in China in which year. Urban villages or ghettoes used to be common in the cities across China, but nowadays most of the cities in China have torn down most of their urban villages (there are some still existing but in small numbers ) for urban developments, but the cities in the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong still have many such villages due to the influx of migrant workers from other provinces in the past 4 decades who prefer such an accomodation. In Guangdong, many urban villages actually occupy prime locations in the cities (some are even close to downtown) and the land prices are already very high these days and the local government find it increasingly unaffordable to dismantle them, at the same time it also creates social dissatisfaction as these urban villages offer cheap rents to many migrant workers who wish to save most of their money. So the local governments in Guangzhou are slow in tearing down these villages but they are still doing it.

      Al parecer tienen estándares bastante altos. Sin embargo seamos honestos la sobrepoblación, quizá lleve a muchos a vivir en espacios pequeños y no podrían comprar un auto, etc. Dudo que su problema sea de salud, o educación como en otros lados.
      También me he encontrado con discursos que buscan incentivar al ciudadano y al empresario a no caer en prácticas estilo Honk Kong o Corea del sur, con respecto a la calidad de la vivienda. Eso les llevará algo más de tiempo.
      Apparently they have pretty high standards. However, let's be honest, overpopulation may lead many to live in small spaces and they would not be able to buy a car, etc. I doubt that your problem is health or education like elsewhere.
      I have also come across speeches that seek to encourage citizens and businessmen not to fall into Honk Kong or South Korea style practices, with respect to the quality of housing. That will take a little more time.

      It depends on your reference. Urban villagers locate in megacities. Of course the urban villages are the relatively poor regions in the megacities. But the urban villages in megacities are still richer than some very rural regions.
