Chapter 3 in China’s Economic Powerhouse, 2003, pp 34-59 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Sustainable development includes many facets. Among them, land issues have always been of key concern to the Chinese people due to China’s basic scarcity of per capita land. In the 1930s and 1940s, the Communist Party launched the so-called ‘land-reform’ campaign, confiscating lands from owners and redistributing them to peasants. This helped the Party win grassroots support, and eventually acquire the power of the state. Deng Xiaoping’s economic reform in the late 1970s and early 1980s also started with assigning land and farm work to households in the rural areas. This system is called ‘the Household Contract Responsibility System (HCRS)’.
