Slum article, your message on my page
I do not mind you expanding the slum article. You are welcome to contribute, Jessica. ThomasJessica (talk) 00:04, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
I plan to work on that article some more. Why don't you try revising Shanty town article - it is related, and needs a lot of work, Jessica. ThomasJessica (talk) 01:43, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Possible topic for Migration in China
Just thought I'd relay something I happened across when looking into violations of labor standards - [1]. It seems like there is an extra high level of distrust on the part of migrant workers when their relatives are injured or killed working in large, far-off industrial areas because of the perception that the local justice system will favor the company over the worker. I imagine this is also complicated by different regulatory environments from province to province, and the overall weakness of China's rule of law. Hope this perspective is helpful.
PS - just out of curiosity, is your user name perhaps a reference to Rice University? TI. Gracchus (talk) 23:11, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Your information is very helpful and I haven't thought about this issue yet. I will try to incorporate this information into my revision. And you are right, every province seems to have different regulations and have taken different measures regarding internal migration, because of which I suppose there aren't many scholar references on general updated policies. I will definitely address such a variation when revising the entry. Once I have finished the initial contribution (in about two weeks), I will let you know and hopefully you can give me some more suggestions. Thank you for your help! <--My user name is the pinyin of four random chosen chinese characters.>:) Feihuamengxue (talk) 00:27, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, I'm glad this helped! I look forward to having a look at what you come up with. I'll also keep an eye out, and if I find more information, I'll post it here. The reason I asked is that I was trying to make sense out of the pinyin, and all I could come up with was "废话蒙学." :P Good luck with your project! 20:04, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
