Socialism with a Chinese characteristic at its best :D

more like capitalism with chinese characteristics.

I noticed China Study Group have a new publication out called China Left Review. The first issue contains a number of articles presenting their case against land privatisation. I've not read all the articles yet but largely agree with those I have.

not suprised, leftists are against privatisation of every kind, the property law could have passed before 1998 if not for them, and they claimed it to be "unconstitutional" which is funny because no one cares about the constitution.

One would think that land/real estate developers would be opposed to this move. Perhaps even those who would like to open factories.

If the reforms are what people are hinting they may be, it would be more difficult than before to get land cheaply for development.

I wouldn't get too excited, being able to trade fixed assets can't prevent peasants from land rights abuse, nor can it create wealth, one scenario I can imagine is most peasants would sell their land for healthcare cost, ending up losing everything to few rich elites, and in turn worsening the income gap.
