If Chinese authorities don't close the regional gap between eastern and western areas, as well as the income gap between urban areas and rural areas, the "chunyun" will continue. If migrant workers can find jobs with handsome payments in their hometowns, why would they migrate to other places? If people from the second or third tier cities can enjoy the same medical and educational resources, why would they flock to the first tier cities like Beijing or Shanghai?
