Abstract: The paper aims to comment on China's ambition to urbanize 300 million peasant workers as a main task in realizing its urban dream. It investigates the severe peasant-workers related problems and points out that local government's financial capacity, peasant workers' vocational skills, social inclusion and degrading countryside are challenging the sustainable urban and rural development in China and need properly treated. The paper proposes possible ways for policy implications and highlights the importance of coherently promoting both classified urbanization and ruralization in China in the future.
