China is taking steps to speed up the relaxing of the official "hukou," or household registration system, according to the Ministry of Public Security on Thursday. In the past decade, an estimated 100 million rural residents have sought jobs in the cities, but because of their rural "hukou" they are denied equal access to jobs, welfare and legal protection.
