Since China entered the reform period at the end of the 1970s, it has a remarkable economic success, especially with its economic growth rates and its out-of-the-counter performance. It has a significant role in regional and global power relations. There are different types of inequalities among the socio-economic problems that this economic success cannot solve. Given the discussions that the concept of development cannot be explained only by improvement in macroeconomic indicators, the study of income inequality in China, urban and rural transparency, regional inequality, education and health inequality becomes important. The focus of this article is the city-city transparency in the sense of inequalities arising from the remaining behind the cities at the level of development of rural areas. In the beginning of the Chinese reform period, the importance of rural development was highlighted. With the removal of the communal system, agricultural efficiency has been increased and collectively created by local governments, thanks to the Village and Urban Businesses, both rural industrialization has occurred and the possibility of non-agricultural income in rural areas has emerged. On the other hand, as the outward policy progresses, the emphasis on rural development has left its place to the city-backed policies. As a result, cities are much more advanced as a result of the support they receive from the government and the investment they receive from the private sector and foreigners, compared to rural areas at the level of development. This situation, which is associated with different types of inequality, such as regional inequality, is manifested by inequality in the fields of education and health, as it occurs with income levels. It seems difficult to claim that the measures and programs that the Chinese government has taken since the late 1990s to solve the problem of urban and rural transparency are successful in this sense.
