ToDaZeD Didja Know?

Since Chiner is one of the countries evaluating US law via the UN Commission on Human Rights, ZZMike thought we oughta know a little about how things “works” there.
Hukou is basically a resident permit given by the government of China. It is issued on family basis. Every family have a Hukou booklet that records information about the family members, including name, birth date, relationship with each other, marriage status (and with whom if married), address and your employer…
Everyone has a Hukou in China.
Before 1980, the hukou restricted travel so much that tourism by Chinese within China was impossible. You couldn’t buy food outside your “home district.” Since, things have relaxed somewhat. Still, without a hukou stating that they are a resident of that particular area, the only work available is manual labor. No schools, no FREE state medical care. . .
