Abstract: In China, policy pilots are not about implementation; it is meant to establish new institutions, adopting new practices or finding new solutions that may not be officially endorsed or publicly recognized yet. Pilots are also not “experiments†in which interventions are clearly designed and executed under strict control. It is to some extent a form of muddling through with both central and local contributions. In this paper, we examine the local government’s role in a land pilot scheme in Deqing County in Zhejiang Province since 2015 to examine the relationship between the central and local governments.
