China has granted urban household registration to 13.9 million rural migrants settled in cities in 2018, a result of relaxed household registration requirements, according to China's Ministry of Public Security.
The ministry also issued more than 24 million residence permits nationwide in 2018.
More efforts should be made to push forward the reform of public security management with household registration as the focus, said Sun Lijun, deputy minister of public security, at a recent conference.
Sun also emphasized on the use of big data in increasing the efficiency of public security management work at the conference.
