Not really. Rural regions get affirmative actions via easier tests. Therefore these rural kids are not actually more competent than urban kids.Ultimately this is a good thing because there is a
chance for upward mobility.

Not enough though. The country’s Household Registration System (Hukou) system really disadvantages the true patriots (migrant workers and constructions workers/engineers who actually built China’s cities, high-speed rail, and serve in the military), whilst privileging the rich Shanghainese and Beijing liberals who see themselves as superior to their countrymen simply because they see themselves as “more western and inernationalised (国际化)”. In fact, even my white British friends are sickened by some of China’s supposedly cosmopolitan second-generation riches because the latters would drive Ferraris and talk about climate change and need for China be more more democratic on one hand, whilst spitting on and disparaging migrant workers and peasants at the same time. I am 100% for technology-oriented market economy, but the excesses of China’s supposed elites is way worse than most Western countries. They pretend to represent the best of liberalism, but they actually posses worst of both the East and the West. Reforming the Hukou system is one way to diminish the power of these arrogant and pretentious elites, whilst enhancing social mobility.Ultimately this is a good thing because there is a

Those "ELITES" want more "western democracy" so that they can easily buy/influence the easily bought politicians and ensure they get away with their debauchery, corruption, illicit drug use, prostitution just like in the west and many Asian countries dominated by their oligarchs.

No, alternatives is city and rural should have equal treatments. If the kid is rich but has more merit than the rural one, he deserves to get in. If he don't, no advantage. No more no less.Alternative would be elites stuffing 50% of Beijing University of Tsinghua full of rich kids regardless of merit.
This article shows you why America’s policy towards China is a mess. They simply don’t know what they want and can’t define a endgame with their competition with China. Of course what they really want is for China to limit its industrial and technological ambitions and put China’s foreign policy in the service of American interest and world order. So that the US can continue to maintain their hegemonic position in the world. But they can’t say that out loud.

Thats why the saying goes "Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds", i see fascism as a return to feudalism movement. That is why they want to push everything into the private market so rich oligarch have the control to manipulate the economy and politics.Not enough though.
