       August11On January 1, 2012, the Beijing Municipal Government officially released the "Beijing Municipal Points Settlement Management Measures (for Trial Implementation)", which is planned to start from the2017surname Nian1moon1A three-year trial period began on Sunday. This new policy opens up a fair and equitable channel for qualified laborers to settle in the country, enhancing"Beijing drifter"A family's sense of urban integration and confidence in belonging.  
     

Not only Beijing, the major first-tier cities of Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen and some of their medium and large cities have also introduced corresponding settlement policies. Household registration issues, difficult to settle is plagued by the Chinese mainland residents for many years, some users have listed a group of difficult to settle the city rankings, the difficulty of settling in the top ten cities are: Beijing, Shanghai, Sanya, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Haikou, Tianjin, Suzhou, Qingdao, Xi'an. In these cities on the list, it is inconceivable that some cities want to successfully settle down actually more difficult than emigrating overseas. So some local points settlement policy in the end how difficult, why is the big city household registration so attractive, today's society, this kind of settlement is difficult to migrate the phenomenon is normal or deformed, derived from the points of the fundamental contradiction in the end is what? How to look at this phenomenon?

Who can settle in the first line? How hard is it really?  
     

The points-based settlement policy seems to be pinned on a large number of"job-hopping group"(First-line city drifting) a line of confidence. Take Beijing as an example, as early as before the introduction of integral settlement, want to settle in Beijing without Beijing relatives and non"within the system"Workers are almost difficult to realize. And now the points settlement seems to be opening the door to more ordinary workers, so that workers wandering outside feel fair and just.        

But the newly introduced points-based settlement system may just look too good to withstand any sculpting. From the point of view of the current point system in Beijing, the higher the educational background, the higher the initial points, those who have a house in Beijing, living in the suburbs, winning awards at the municipal level or above, the higher the income, the higher the tax payment, and the good work, the extra points. Some netizens on the Internet have counted that if all of the above meet the standard30I'm trying to break through.100In addition, there are two other hard indicators for Beijing's points settlement, which are age not exceeding45age and payment of7The number of years of social security, so for young people want to stay is very slim. And, exactly how many Beijing settlement quotas are available in a year is still unknown? Among these indicators, those who meet the points may not be able to successfully settle down, and the government will also be based on a set of criteria that have not been made public."meritocracy"This meritocracy has a great deal of water; it is also worrying that the points settling system will not be changed frequently, from the point of view of China's frequent modification of taxes, the points settling system there are stability hazards. Beijing's settlement system seems to be close at hand, but there is a glass wall in front of it, so it is not appropriate to be optimistic.        

Shanghai has shown more greed for points, and all talents that can create economic growth points can be added, compared to Beijing is nothing less than the age limit. But these are still difficult for ordinary people. Shenzhen as a first-tier cities in the best settlement in the super metropolis, but faces an even more embarrassing problem, even if the average person has a Shenzhen hukou, in the face of that average price of6In case the price of a flat can only be expected.      
 

From the current settlement reform, it is nothing more than some local governments from the"within the system"Priority was shifted to the"rich man"Prioritization also reflects the downward trend of the economy. Points-based settlement should not be praised because the essence of this points-based settlement reform is not qualified classification but competitive classification, which is undoubtedly a victory for capitalists and does not have much to do with ordinary people.

What are the advantages of a first-tier city hukou  
     

Why are Chinese people so obsessed with big-city hukou, whether it's in the north, uptown, Shenzhen, or Guangzhou, where every year there are countless people fighting for a"dignity"And the squeeze is on. It's true that China's first-tier cities have many attractive benefits, such as passport visas and guaranteed housing, but the fact is that most of the majority of people who are applying for first-tier city residency don't need what for them is a minuscule amount of"preferential treatment", for the most part, its looking at the development of future generations and the special nature of big cities.        

For the development of future generations is particularly easy to understand, the first-tier cities gathered the best educational resources in China, even the examination of the university has a huge advantage, from childhood to provide sufficiently broad horizons for future generations, for parents, who want to settle in the big city to give their offspring a better start and security.        

Also, what is the essence of a big city? The essence of a big city is a power or economic center, a social network created by the upper echelons of society with power and money in order to provide themselves with a better and more comfortable place to live. Throughout history, no political or financial center of mankind has ever been in a state of disrepair, and no small or medium-sized city has ever been in a state of disrepair. The upper class will build their own cities better for their own interests, creating better environments for them to travel, live, and play. Many people may not even realize that settling in the center of money and power is really just a process of taking sides. Because citizens know very well that the powerful rarely do anything to hurt their own interests, they can never go wrong by choosing to follow the powerful, especially in a centralized country like China.        

The biggest advantage of big cities comes from the powerful and the rich, and what attracts settlers the most is the possibility of getting closer to these powerful people. Some may question the idea that they did not apply to settle in first-tier cities in order to be closer to leaders and business tycoons. But it cannot be denied that countless people choose to drift to first-tier cities in order to"favorable circumstance"In order to have better development, all these things are actually provided by the powerful and the rich. Isn't the so-called opportunity and better development actually a process from ordinary people to approaching the powerful and the rich, to becoming the powerful and the rich? But the chances of doing so rise with the length of residence, and many people subconsciously choose to work hard to become rooted in the land of the powerful and the rich in order to have a better chance of honoring their ancestors or their descendants.

It's an aberration and it's hopeless.  
     

It is a very normal phenomenon of human civilization that people run to big cities in order to get close to the powerful and the rich. However, the difficulty of China's current settlement policy has exceeded that of foreign immigrants, and has taken on a monstrous structure.  
     

New York, as one of the most developed regions on earth, exceeds the standards of China's first-tier cities in almost every way, and it is far easier to become a New Yorker than a Beijinger. For example, as we all know, if you go to the U.S. to give birth to a child, the U.S. promises to automatically recognize U.S. citizenship as long as the child is born on U.S. soil. In addition, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Greece and many other countries that support investment immigration almost as long as there is enough money and then find a good intermediary and bank can be easily settled, far from social security restrictions, age limits and other cumbersome content.        

The introduction of the points-based settlement system is a strengthening and mockery of the household registration system. Previously, some people complained that it was difficult to settle in a household and that the settlement was not transparent, but nowadays, local governments have made such difficulties public and transparent, and the difficulty has not been reduced in any way, and the target for settling in a household will not be increased, which is a kind of mockery in disguise.        

The points-based settlement system has not increased the settlement target, at least as far as we can tell. With such a setup, the points-based settlement has raised the barrier to entry, which means that in reality the points-based settlement is controlling people coming in, and definitely not relaxing people going in, at least those ordinary specialized undergraduates who have been discouraged from moving into Beijing since then.        

But the points settlement system, no matter how ironic it may be, it is a helpless existence. Local governments always need to have a clear settlement system in place, and without this rule, population control will"act without justification"Without this rule of settlement, the household registration administration will also be chaotic, and more people will actually come in as a result of connections plus speculation.
       

In China's huge population base national conditions, with the development of the economy, countless people want to settle in big cities. Assuming that the rules of settlement are weak, most people can easily take root in the big city as long as they buy a house, which means that the big city may lose the existing fragile balance, completely reduced to the place where capital is competing for stakes, housing prices in the big city prices will skyrocket, and the original inhabitants of the city, who are not rich, will be driven out step by step, marginalized, and destroying a normal ecosystem. If the process is handled better, it is also reduced to the status quo of Indian slums.        

put a stop to sth.2015In 2007, Beijing had a population of2000More than ten thousand, Shanghai has nearly2500million, Guangzhou1500million, and Shenzhen is also in the2000It hovers around more than 10 million. China's population in just four cities exceeds that of most of the world's countries combined, and without population limits that number would be even more inflated.

Greed is the root cause.  
     

From the above, then the points-based settlement system again seems to be a favorable protection policy? But in fact, this"favorable"It could have been redundant. It is true that the initial development of a country requires the centralization of power, which will lead to a variety of conveniences, but at present, China has already skipped the initial stage of primitive accumulation and is gradually on the way to transformation.        

At present, China can completely avoid having a large number of people concentrated in one city, such as Beijing, which is an economic center, cultural center, political center, military center, entertainment center, entrepreneurial center, and news center, where countless people crowd in because they have no other way to work. Beijing can retain its status as a cultural, political, and military center and decentralize its economic, film, and entrepreneurial privileges to other places. In this way, those who make movies don't have to crowd in Beijing, and those who want to make movies don't have to run to Beijing; those who want to start their own business have many choices of places to do so, and don't have to bear the sky-high pressure and congested traffic in Beijing; and those who are in the business of finance can be shifted to other places as long as Beijing is willing to decentralize its power to give the same preferential treatment to another city as that of Beijing, and it's not that difficult to do all these things.        

The Chinese government has been screaming for so many years to develop the western part of the country, but in reality all it needs to do is to transfer a group of politicians and businessmen into the city, and then a large number of new blood will follow. The upper echelons of society determine how a city is built, at least for the time being, and it's not hard to do the same for other places, as Shenzhen has risen to prominence overnight. However, the upper echelons of China still seem to want to keep all the best talent in big cities like Beijing.        

The upper class has the pursuit of life and taste, they will want to live in a place that is prosperous and elegant, with more talents who can communicate easily and with quality; with convenient services and first-class medical institutions; with sufficient labor force to provide the necessary services at any time; and with a little more convenience to do everything. This greed has led some big cities to hold on to their privileges and to hold on to their excellent human resources. This greed is the essence of why big cities are congested.        

Solving congestion in big cities just can't rely on charging"congestion charge"The Government should realistically cede power to some other regions. China is currently facing several problems, including an exaggerated wealth gap and a difficult economic transition. Distributing urban privileges to different locations can balance urban development and stimulate new urban dynamics. China's central and western regions have great potential, and developing the central and western regions can also alleviate the pressure on the people's lives, firstly, by driving the underdeveloped regions to get rich and improve the living environment; secondly, by reducing the number of foreigners who have left their hometowns or some of whom have left their hometowns can be"unlucky (slang)"The of a little closer to home. Thirdly, it is also good for the development of the country, the current so-called overcapacity is mainly concentrated not in the first-tier cities, China should take advantage of the centralization of power to create a new central area to digest the excess capacity, but also, theoretically speaking, balanced the distribution of resources, the development of education and health care in a number of places, to dig out China has the potential for more talent!

    Bejing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are China's signature cities, but with almost everyone in the world familiar with China as the second largest economy, China no longer needs such face-saving projects. It is more important for China to shift its current focus to unlocking the potential of its cities, and never to continue to inflate the"old school"The city, adding to its own congestion, adding pressure to the people. The points settlement policy is ridiculous and a completely unnecessary kind of restrictive measure, and it will not enhance the happiness of the one-drift people. Wanting to really enhance the happiness of the foreigners is not to make these people more able to integrate into the cities of the powerful and the rich, but to make their hometowns more beautiful!
