Income gap between urban, rural residents continues to narrow
An official with the Research Center for Rural Economics under the Ministry10 of Agriculture says the income gap between rural and urban residents in China has continued to narrow, as income growth for rural residents outpaced that of urban dwellers11 during the first three quarters.
The official says the income growth rate of rural residents was 5.8 percentage points higher than that of urban dwellers during the first nine months.
However, he says a combination of factors will restrict farmers from making more money, including high inflation, rising agricultural production costs and fewer job opportunities.

Most of these relics have been found around the waters of the Xisha Islands, a chain of islets lying on the route of the ancient maritime Silk Road, where a number of merchant ships sunk after colliding on the shallow coral reefs or amid rough weathers.
