1. Invisible China
How the Urban-Rural Divide Threatens China's Rise
Based on extensive fieldwork and data, the book documents how tens of millions of rural Chinese—left behind by rapid urbanization and constrained by the hukou system—lack access to quality education, healthcare, and social services, creating a vast invisible population whose struggles threaten China’s economic and social future. It highlights problems such as underfunded rural schools, child malnutrition and learning gaps, precarious migrant labor, and elderly neglect, and argues for targeted policy reforms to bridge the urban–rural divide.
