Description
China’s hukou system of household registration will be progressively relaxed following the third plenum. Rigidly enforced since the 1950s as a means whereby the movement of rural workers migrating to the cities in search of jobs could be controlled, hukou is not too dissimilar to the internal passports that were issued in the USSR (and which still exist in parts of Russia to this day) and the old dompas of the apartheid era in South Africa. China’s third plenum of the 18th Central Committee concluded on November 12. After much anticipation of spectacular reforms, when the plenum ended the immediate response from many observers was that it was something of a damp squib. In fact, while it is definitely not an ideological breakthrough in the vein of the third plenum of 1978 that heralded Deng Xiao-Ping’s sweeping reform programme, it definitely contains at least the seeds of wide-ranging and profound reforms in the world’s second-largest economy.
