3 Do Chinese Move to Small Cities

I would also like to add that the countryside in America and Europe is very different to the countryside in most Asian countries (eg excluding Japan, Korea etc...

Economically the "country" in Asian countries have crumbling infrastructure, low levels of education, lousy pay and generally a lower standard of living for its people. However there is a sharp contrast in more developed nations. In regions such as Western Europe and North America, the countryside is not wealthier as a whole but in terms of per capita it is (that is people from the country are richer than the people in the cities; generally speaking). This can be due to the fact to lower population density and government subsidies for farmers etc...

Socially Asian people (that come from poorer Asian nations) tend to view peasants from the country with disdain because of the crime rate, poverty, level of education most receive and the perception of backwardness. Again it is the complete opposite in more developed nations, where the quality of basic infrastructure and level of education is almost on par with those from the major cities. And crime rates are generally lower because poverty is almost non-existent. So people's perception of the countryside are generally more positive when compared to people from developed nations. For example take the numerous Western films such as Babe or Smallville; where the countryside is portrayed as clean cut and very peaceful, whereas people from the cities are all cunningly sly and un-contented and usually interfering in the towns folk's peaceful existence.

Spiritually, yes I made this up, it is important to consider many people from poorer Asian nations tend to have ambitions of monetary success. Whereas people in richer regions tend to want a better quality or more fulfilling level of life. This can be due to many factors, but it is probably due to the fact that many Asians are poor and are therefore struggling to survive (e.g China and India) whereas in America people are generally economically sorted so-to-speak. Both are striding for the em-betterment for themselves, but because of their backgrounds both possess different ambitions to try and achieve spiritual content.

These are the differences between China and the USA regarding why the Chinese as a whole do not move to inland regions of China. As for "Do Chinese move to Small Cities"? I would think so out of a population of 1300000000 people, but the surge from the wave caused by those moving from the country to the Eastern cities dwarfs that figure. Lets face it, right now there are more poor in China than there are rich (obviously), but who know in 20 years the trend in China then might be the same as the trend in the USA today.

As the saying goes "money makes the world go round"! There is probably a lot more to add, but I will refrain myself from hijacking this discussion lol...
