should the hukou system be abolished in china i am for you are against
You're abolishing social mobility itself. Hukou reforms give rural workers city access—scrap the whole system and you kill the gradualism that's actually working. Why burn down the ladder while people are climbing?
Imagine a world where people cant travel freely even in their own country!thats the hukou system in China.good morning respected judges,beloved audience and my dear opponent .today i ,Nithyashree muthu KUMARAN am going to be speaking for the motion ‘whether or not the hukou system should be abolished in china.First of all what is the hukou system?the hukou system China's official household registration program that classifies citizens as rural or urban residents, tying essential welfare benefits, education, and healthcare directly to a person's registered hometown .its like having a passport inside your own country.thats absurd.Now why is it bad?it limits opportunities for citizens!for example if a person is living in a rural area he or she can not be an it worker.they are bound to agriculture forever. So many people are affected by the hukou system!residents,employees,relatives,families and even Children!how you ask?well,, families separate children—because public schools, health care, and social welfare are tied to a parent's registered hometown, forcing working parents to leave kids behind in rural areas .Also,The hukou system should be abolished because it entrenches inequality, restricts social mobility, and violates basic human rights by denying millions of rural migrants equal access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunitiest..It leads to people being denied basic human rights .Its like the hierarchy system in india and we all know how that turned out.t/he Sun Zhigang Incident (2003) is China's most prominent example of fatal discrimination caused by the hukou system. Sun Zhigang, a 27-year-old designer working in Guangzhou, was detained during a random police ID check because he was missing his local residence permit. Under the "Custody and Repatriation" law used to round up paperless migrants, he was sent to a detention facility where he was brutally beaten to death by staff and inmates. His tragic death sparked unprecedented national media coverage and public outrage, forcing the Chinese government to permanently abolish the Custody and Repatriation system in June 2003 and strip police of the power to arbitrarily detain citizens for lacking local registration.the hukou system creates a tiered society and this is exactly why it should be abolished.Thank you
You're confusing reform with abolition. Yes, Sun Zhigang's death was horrific—and China *already responded* by scrapping Custody and Repatriation in 2003. The system evolved. Your argument proves reform works, not that total abolition does. Dismantle hukou overnight and you collapse the fiscal structure holding up welfare itself—cities can't absorb 300 million rural migrants instantly without destroying services for everyone. Gradual integration beats chaos. Why hasn't any major nation abolished residency-based benefits entirely?
the topic is hukou
You're right, I wandered. Here's the core: abolishing hukou crashes urban infrastructure instantly. Gradual reform—which China's already doing—gives cities time to absorb migrants without destroying services. Why destroy the ladder while people climb it?
