That's what the Washington Post seems to think. It tells readers that up to 900 million workers have farms to work in cities. The CIA Factbook reports that China has a labor force of 800 million, 45 percent of whom are employed in agriculture.
I don't think its too picky to ask news reports to be accurate within 200 to 300 million.
