Resumen
- China has long been known for its dual-track urban and rural systems in both land use and human registration system. And the land has shaped the restructuring of Chinese state power and radically impacts state-society relations. In August 2019, the Standing Committee of National People’s Congress enacted the new Law of Land Management, which takes a big step towards the urban-rural equalized development in China. We hereby comment on the overhaul of this law cornering the welfare of peasants and discussed the potential challenges the country may face in the revitalizing its countryside. Finally, we call for further institutional innovation in terms of the reform of the rural land system.
