Q: In the process of promoting urbanization, how can China achieve urbanization and agricultural modernization simultaneously?

Answered by: Xu Xiaoqing

Urbanization and agricultural modernization are inseparable and dependent on each other. Agricultural and rural areas are not becoming destitute in the urbanization process, but are actually developing and improving.

Urbanization is not a zero-sum game but a win-win process. The key is to help urban and rural residents enjoy the benefits of urbanization together.

To comply with the trend of surplus rural labor moving to the cities, we should improve labor productivity in rural areas while increasing urban carrying capacity. In this way, farm workers can live and work in peace and modern agriculture can develop at a faster speed.
