Abstract:
The standpoint of the rural land privatization in China not only goes against the reality, but also has some theoretical mistakes. The rural land privatization cannot eliminate differences between endowment of land resources and land production efficiency among different countries, and also cannot determine the concentration of land production and the degree of scale production. The efficiency of land using depends on land users and system arrangement of rights to use. The confusion between land property rights and land ownership is the major factor leading to the misleading worship of rural land privatization in theoretical realm. Clarifying rural land property rights is not changing land ownership, but rationally allocating land ownership. Establishing a reasonable land system which holds a balance among rights, liability and benefits, and among land rights about possession use, earnings and disposal is the directional choice to build the rural land governance system with Chinese characteristics.
