China invests in its people

Like a slave owner invests into his slaves. Chinese people don't even have the right to relocate within their own country. This sort of investment is not what anyone should want.

Technically, they sort of do. Sometime after Deng Xiaoping's reforms, they eventually relaxed the restrictions on movements. My parents are from villages in Taishan, they moved to Guangzhou, have a small apartment unit in some slum neighborhood, but even though I was born in Guangzhou, I didn't get Guangzhou Hukou. Therefore, denied access to Guangzhou public schools. The school I went to was privately-run for migrant children, its worse than public schools.
