China will relax residency curbs in small cities this year - state planner
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will relax residency curbs in small cities this year, the country's state planner said on Monday, in a renewed push for urbanisation in the country.
Migrant workers, along with college graduates, will benefit from the policy, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement on its website.
It also said the government aims to increase the urbanisation rate by at least 1 percentage point by the end of this year.
