The Ministry of Public Security recently held a conference in Beijing to further strengthen control of the migrant population. Meng Jianzhu, the Minister of Public Security, stressed the importance of managing the migrant population and called it “part of renovating the social management effort and an important part of the measures to ensure social stability and harmony.”
The Ministry called for stepping up the work to collect population information, build a comprehensive intelligence platform, regularly visit the migrant population to exert dynamic control, standardize the population’s registration, and manage well the rental housing facilities and local communities.
