An article that, though misguided, does make two points:
1. "urbanization" is too vague to describe the land seizure occurring in the countryside. Early on in the decade the central government tried to promote reinvestment in villages, but that has changed as stimulus money prefers demolition and reconstruction. Actually, the article is very focused on this: someone screwed up with the headline.
2. The CCP have had unprecedented success in improving literacy, but only through imposing a standard curriculum. There is serious debate over how languages in the South can be conserved, as well as the integrity of minority populations. It's an economic question as well, as shown by the U.S.'s so-called cultural capital.
