- Will reluctance from local government undermine reforms to China’s hukou system?
Wang Ming's 12-year-old son must attend school 120km from Beijing due to the family's inability to obtain a hukou, a household registration document required for public services like education. The hukou system restricts access to healthcare and education for non-residents, despite Wang's 20-year residency and employment in the city.
