Recently, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced China will reform the household registration system. They will eliminate the distinction between agricultural and non-agricultural households. This will unify the household (huko) registration system. The CCP will implement this in all sizes of cities, various rural household settlement policies and establish the residence permit system. Experts said that land ownership is the fundamental issue. Chinese society will have conflicts and social unrests without resolution to this issue. On July 24 the CCP State Council issued a statement; “Opinions to Further Promote the Reform to the Household Registration System.” It said to eliminate the distinction between agricultural and non-agricultural household accounts. As a result, “Blue Print Household” and other types of household accounts all became resident accounts. China’s financial think tank and researcher Gong Shengli said that the CCP has been tried to reform the household registration system reform for 50 years, but China's citizens are still divided into the upper, middle and lower classes. Gong Shengli, “this time the new regime of Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang for the first time proposed to break through the household registration system. But there seems to be no plans or solution to the three huge mountains of rural population: Education, medicine and social security.” On January 9, 1958 the CCP implemented its first household registration system called the People's Republic of China Household Registration Ordinance. It classifieds households as agricultural and non-agricultural accounts based on geographical areas and family relationship. Since 1994, the CCP implemented the “Blue Print Household” in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Beijing and other large cities. It ties real estate investment, and employment to households. But this policy was terminated in April 2002. Management of outside households was replaced by the Residence Permit System. The State Council stated to unify the city and rural household registration system, adjust the household migration policy, innovate population management and create the Residence Permit System. Beijing lawyer Cheng Hai told the media that Article 6 of the 1958 Household Registration Ordinance passed by the National People's Congress states household accounts should be registered at the habitual residence. Huko itself was to register population. It did not have other impact. The State Council’s reform is actually to correct its illegal behavior. But overall it’s action is still illegal. Beijing lawyer Cheng Hai, “first, it is against the law. The Huko regulations is a unified system of resident accounts. It limits peoples’ movements. It was turned into a secret tool to restrict people. The establishment of residence permits is also illegal. Chinese residents can live anywhere in the country at will. The resident identity card system distinguishes people and restricts people. It is also illegal.” Cheng Hai said that the government used huko migration as a money-making tool for their own personal gain. Public security departments participate in selling huko. One account can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan. The New York Times stated that China’s Household Registration System might be an obstacle to huko. It was set up during Mao Zedong’s time. It restricts rural population to permanently settle down in cities, as well as limiting people moving from smaller cities to big cities such as Shanghai and Beijing. Its goal was stop hungry people from moving to cities. Former Sha’anxi TV Station editor Ma Xiaoming, “in fact this system is for the CCP to control people. Especially to control farmers who live in harsh conditions and keep them in the areas of agriculture.” Since late 2005, the CCP began the so-called reform to the household registration system. Thirteen provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions removed the differences between agricultural and non- . 《神韵》2014世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
