“…The surviving role of the rural collective economy was about managing the spending on public infrastructure and welfare. As rural land became valuable assets in the late 1990s, the rural collective economic organisations became collective businesses, often in the form of sharing holding companies, to negotiate on behalf of the shareholders, that is, villagers, for transactions related to rural land (Chen, ). The amount of collective investment shows how strong the collective village economy is; that is, the greater the collective investment, the stronger is the village economy.…”

This article studies the causes for unequal access to rural community and social development infrastructures in China. We use a dataset in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011)(2012), the National Baseline Survey of Communities, to examine the availability of four types of infrastructures: public transportation, sanitation, health care and aged care. Three hundred and seven villages are included in this study. The findings suggest that the primary funder of infrastructures and the status of village governance have impacts on the unequal availability of rural infrastructures. The effects vary by the type of infrastructures under discussion. This is the first attempt to combine planning, finance and governance factors in explaining rural infrastructure availability. It has strong policy implications and shed important light on state-society relations and the urbanisation trends in China.

“…With respect to agricultural production, the major goals are to make optimal use of underutilised or idle farmland in achieving economies of scale and greater efficiency. In principle, small-scale farmers are passing their individual land use rights to a common unit that is, in general, registered as a cooperative (Chen, 2016; Cheng and Chung, 2018).…”

Is there a role for agricultural production cooperatives in agricultural development? Evidence from China

In recent years, China witnessed a boom in the formation of agricultural cooperatives. While most of them have been set up as agricultural service cooperatives, there is also the option of forming agricultural production cooperatives (APCs). Although both models stem from a similar long tradition, it was argued that production cooperatives were not competitive, thus having no role in agricultural development. Historically, these cooperatives were formed under specific conditions only. However, in recent years, they have been observed in villages characterised by family agriculture. Taking the example of Chongzhou County (Sichuan Province, China), this exploratory study investigates the salient conditions under which farmers voluntarily join such cooperatives. The results show that APCs still have a role to play in agricultural development after all. Certain conditions have to be met, like government support and recruitment of professional farm managers, but particularly a homogeneous membership and transparent decision-making processes.

“…Low income made most young people unwilling to stay in the village to engage in agricultural production. Additionally, the village lacked a rural collective economy, which is an effective economic support in promoting rural development [52]. The family production and management mode made the production factors lack linkages, with the production relationship unable to effectively adapt to the productive forces.…”

To solve the decline of rural development, an effective development mode is indispensable. Rural tourism is a key approach in poverty alleviation and rural revitalization in China. The comparative analysis of the 50 most beautiful villages as awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture of China shows that the rural tourism development mode with the integration of production, village and scenery realizes the sustainable development of rural areas. To examine this further, this study takes Qinggangshu Village as a case study and constructs a systematic rural tourism-based sustainable development model called Aims, Measures, Demands (AMD). The results show that Qinggangshu Village has changed from a single farming village to a mature tourism village due to the Beautiful Village Project’s support. In this process, the production, village and scenery have made great change by promoting rural tourism development. Land consolidation and land asset activation is at the core of rural transformation and development, which can drive the reorganization and flow of labor and capital and can also make rebuilt villages more comfortable living spaces. Furthermore, a good landscape environment can stimulate development and competition. This study could be used as an example of attaining sustainable development for other rural areas.
