"Citizen status for peasants: key issue that a harmonious society cannot avoid"
赵俊臣: 农民享受国民待遇是和谐社会不能回避的关键问题 Source
Presently, social discord in China is mainly seen in two major areas: the struggle for a living of the urban unemployed, and the lack of citizen treatment for rural peasants. In relative terms, the urban unemployed, being a relatively advantaged group, have trade unions etc. arguing for their rights; the Party and Government have issued “baseline guarantee” policies whose city coverage is fairly wide, etc., and the problems of which are finding or have found suitable resolution; but the peasants’ lack of citizen status affects a broader domain: there are no peasant organisations at the national, provincial, city (prefecture), county, or township levels to organize arguments for for their rights, many rights bestowed on peasants by the Central Committee and State Council through regulations and by the National People's Congress through laws still await implementation. This has become a crucial key point, a dilemma and a hot topic for social harmony in China.
