Despite substantial improvements in standards of living, the Chinese countryside is largely lagging behind. Rural-urban disparities in income and services and subsequent migration trends pose great challenges to sound development. This report analyses the key socio-economic forces at work in China's rural areas and discusses the current government strategy for rural development. It argues that in order to bridge rural-urban divides the current policy approach needs to go further in recognising rural-urban complementarities beyond agriculture and that food-security targets need to be balanced with wider rural development objectives.
