China’s land counterrevolution

A piece I wrote on recent developments in Chinese land law just got published in the web edition of Foreign Affairs. Here’s the link: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2017-05-16/has-china-restored-private-land-ownership

They titled it “Has China Restored Private Land Ownership?”, but I’m going to take the liberty of using my original title as the heading for this post.
