The Chinese Government is rumoured to be discussing land reform in agricultural areas, to enable farmers to have good enough title in the land they currently hold on leases given to families to undertake commercial transactions in agricultural land and thus to pass land use on to others not in the family. This is one of the touchiest subjects in Chinese politics, and hugely symbolic.

If the issue is clarified, there is a huge potential for the restructuring of the rather basic rural economy, but there would be millions of losers in such a process as well as millions of winners.
