Abstract: Abstract There are a lot of conflicts and arguments in land requisitions in China these years. Such as the right land requisition to be abused, the interests of farmers were harmed. The efficiency of factors allocation was lost too. It is undoubted that the current requisition system should be reformed eagerly. However, it is very complicated to improve the system. The Chinese governments have adopted the reforms of land requisition policies. There are quite different opinions on the reforms in China, such as the direction, approaches and steps of the reforms in this field. The US is the most developed country in the world. There are relatively advanced policies in this field too. The regime of land requisition of the US seems a bit ideal. Therefore, learning from the US land management experience, we can get beneficial inspiration and reference from the US. It will be helpful to the reform of China’s land requisition system. But we cannot copy the US system directly, because of the quite different background and tasks between the two countries. The Chinese regimes need focus on more issues than that in the US. For example, how to keep the balance between industrialization and urbanization and security of food, how to protect the environment and the land resource. My research will compare the land requisition policies between China and the US. Then it will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the policies in China. Furthermore, it will compare the background and relative conditions between the two countries. Moreover, it will analyze what we should learn from the US, what is the right direction and approaches of the reforms in this field in China. At last, it will give some advice on the land requisition reform in China. For example, Chinese government should set a quota market, in which the national government sells the quota of converting agricultural land to commercial land. In this way, the market mechanism can be more efficient than that the local government monopolies the supply of land. The land requisition will not be abused too. Furthermore, the land requisition compensation standard will be increased. Therefore the owners can get obviously more compensation of land requisitions. It can help millions of farmers to become richer than before.
