Who's communist?
This answer on Quora should be required reading for Americans.
The original subject of school eligibility is irrelevant. One fact is hugely important and SURPRISING.
90% OF CHINESE OWN THEIR OWN HOMES.
I've been railing against the idiotic propaganda that China is Communist, but I didn't realize how TOTALLY capitalist China is. Russia has similar near-universal ownership.
By comparison, the US percentage is 65% and dropping fast.

The original subject of school eligibility is irrelevant. One fact is hugely important and SURPRISING.
A child is ineligible for certain public schools if they don’t have the corresponding residency permit, or Hukou. A Hukou is issued irrespective of whether or not you own your own residence.See that?
The source of the confusion is that 90% of Chinese do own their own home. So the chances of you having the Hukou but not actually owning your own home is extremely slim. And vice versa if somebody is a renter, chances are they came to the host city for work, and thus no Hukou.
