    Migration within China has three main characteristics according to the document. First, migration flows are primarily from northwest to southeast regions. Second, migration patterns have strengthened centrality towards coastal regions over time. Third, while migration populations have increased, migration distances have remained relatively unchanged. The determinants of these characteristics include income/job opportunities, economic activity levels, natural environments, and path dependence.

    3. Increasing migration population but
    relatively unchanged migration distance

    ■ “China experienced a dramatic increase in...migration in


    2010, but the migration distance did not increase dramatically
    with the migration population increased and traffic developed
    on the whole” (Cao 78).
