      "In recent years, migrants have raised their demands through protests, road blockages, sit-ins and spontaneous strikes. Although these have not always proved effective, workers have become more aware of their collective strength. In the past year they have won some improvements in wages and working conditions. Many migrant workers, now better informed, are far less willing to accept the status quo. As they grow in confidence, the regime will find it increasingly difficult to ignore their demands. China's rulers should realise now that it is in their long-term interests to listen." YES, they really should do this to show the government that they have a right to complain about what's right or wrong! If you're rich still doesn't mean that you have all the rights to do anything you want.

    In China, poor migrants who earn a living by working low calss jobs in Beijing is treated unfairly. The chinese public schools, especialy nursery schools, would not let the migrant's children be enrolled. Yet, migrants are treated differently than Beijing citizens, and they can't have a normal life.
