The purpose of this study is to estimate the drag coefficient of urban-rural digital divide (URDD) on the Chinese urbanization process, whereby to identify its clouts on urbanization impetuses. The study, on the ground of the resistance theory in tribology, constructs a model for measuring the drag coefficient of urbanization from URDD in China, and conducts an empirical analysis concerning drag coefficients by using non-parametric methodology. The results indicate that the coefficients vary ranging from 0.06898 to 0.08799 and at around 0.07695 on the whole in China, with a slight fluctuation latitude and the anti-urbanization is an inherent attribute to URDD. The study concludes with policies for narrowing URDD and promoting urbanization development for China.
