What is the system of land use control? China is one of the most populated countries in the world. Until September 2006, per capita cultivated land is 1.4 mu (1 ha=15 mu). This means that China has to feed on 1.3 billion population (about 20% of population of world) with the agricultural production of 7% of the land of world. Worse, as China is emerging a new industrialized country, more and more cultivated land is converted to the construction of office buildings, industry complex, condominiums or infrastructure. Another side product of industrialization is the deterioration of environment and this further reduces cultivated land. In order to control the reduction of cultivated land, China adopts the system of land use control. In China, land is categorized as agricultural land, construction land or unused land for different uses from the use purpose of standpoint. Agricultural land means land that may directly be used for agricultural purposes, which includes cultivated land, forest land, grassland, land for water irrigation and land for aquatic cultivation. Construction land means land that may be used to construct buildings, which includes land for construction of urban and rural housing and public facilities, land for mining, land for traffic and water irrigation facilities, land for tourism and land for military facilities. Unused land means land that has not yet been used for agriculture or construction. Further, land for construction is categorized as collective construction land and state construction land. If the land user wants to change the land use purpose, for example, from agricultural land to construction land, approval from government authorities is required.

How did farmers pay for the use of load that they farmed in ancient china?

In ancient China, farmers typically paid for the use of land through a system known as the "corvée labor" system. They would provide labor service to the landlord or the state for a certain number of days each year in exchange for the right to cultivate the land. This labor obligation was considered as payment for the land use. Additionally, farmers would also pay a portion of their harvest as rent or taxes to the landlord or the state.


Who are granted land use rights in China?

In China, granted land use rights are the rights to use state land for a fixed period of time, which are granted by the government to land users. Generally, land users enter into land grant contracts with the government authority in charge of land, and pays land grant premiums in exchange for land use rights on state land for a fixed period of time. The maximum term of land grant is determined based on its use. For example, the term for residential use is 70 years while the term for industrial use is 50 years. Chinese law requires that all land use rights for commercial use must be granted by bidding, auction or quotation on the open market.


What are land use rights in China?

In China, land use rights are the rights for natural persons, legal persons or other organizations to use land rights for a fixed period of time. China adopts dual land tenure system under which land ownership is independent of land use rights. The land is either owned by the state ("State Land") or by rural collective economic organization ("Collective Land"). The term of land use rights varies depending on different land use purpose. For example, if a piece of state land is used for industrial purpose, the term is 50 years while if it is used for residential purpose, the term is 70 years. More specifically, the term of rights to use State Land is: (1) 70 years for residential use; (2) 50 years for industrial use; (3) 50 years for educational, scientific and technological, health, and athletic use; (4) 40 years for business, tourist, and recreational use; and (5) 50 years for multiple purpose use or other uses. The term of rights to use collective land for cultivation or similar purpose is: The term for cultivated land is 30 years, for grassland it is from 30 to 50 years, and for forest land it is from 30 to 70 years. The term for special woods may be longer, subject to approval from the government authority in charge of forestry. No Chinese law defines the term of farmers' residential use of collective land.


Who has the right to use state land in China?

The right to use the state land is also called the land use right, which means land users have the rights to use the state land for a fixed period of time. Chinese law states that natural persons, legal persons or other organizations may acquire land use rights. So from the legal perspective, even a foreign natural person, legal person or other organization may acquire land use rights in China. However, Chinese law and regulation do impose more restrictions on foreigners when they try to acquire land use rights. For example, business existence is a prerequisite for a foreign entity or individual to purchase real estate in China for non-personal use. In other words, the entity or individual must first establish a foreign invested enterprise and then conduct business as designated in the business scope. Obviously, the requirement for business existence is to control foreign investment in Chinese real estate industry and regulate the price of real estate.

Do you really own land or just rights to use land?

That depends on where you live. In the United States we have a system of private land ownership. You can sell your land and keep the money or leave it to your beneficiaries by your will. If you die intestate (without a will) the land will pass to your heirs at law under the state laws of intestacy. No one can take the land away from you unless the taking is done under the provisions of the law. Many other countries have private land ownership. There are countries that do not have systems of private land ownership. China is a good example. There is no system for private land ownership in China. The state took control of all the land during the Communist takeover in 1949. Communist Party officials control land usage rights. However, there is a system of usage rights granted in the land.

What is the first tier market for land in China?

The market on which land use rights are transacted among land users is the second tier market of land.
