| pink cat (OP) User ID: 28454161 United States12/07/2012 07:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to chinadigitaltimes.net] "China has already entered the middle-income stage of development, but the development is “unbalanced”, especially when it comes to the widening gap between town and country, Mr. Li said. Disparity means potential, in other words, China’s biggest potential for development in the coming decades lies in the process of urbanization, he added. […] A UN report, titled Urban and Rural Areas 2011, predicted that nearly 70 percent of the population will live in urban areas by 2035. Over the next two decades China will build 20,000 to 50,000 new skyscrapers and more than 170 cities will require mass transit systems by 2025." i want to see this UN report. this is not some "prediction" this is a man made effort to rid of all things rural there. wtf.
