Some of the most striking findings:
- There has been a steady increase since 2005 in the number of “land takings” or compulsory state acquisitions, and about 43 percent of the villages surveyed have been subjected to such land takings over the past decade.
- The mean compensation that the local government paid to the farmers was approximately $17, 850 per acre. When it was resold by local authorities, mostly to commercial property developers, the mean price was $740,000 per acre.
- When farmers are relocated or “urbanized,” only a bit more than twenty percent gained an urban hukou or registration; 13.9 percent received urban social security coverage; 9.4 percent received medical insurance; and only 21.4 percent had access
to schools for their children.
- Every year, local governments appropriate land from 4 million rural Chinese.
None of this is a good deal for the farmers, and the result, according to Chinese researchers, is that land conflicts are the source of 65 percent of the more than 180,000 protests China experiences annually.
Almost half of China’s farmers have lost their land under shady circumstances to the government and developers, further feeding the country’s simmering problem of unrest caused by land losses and forced relocation.
A new study published on Tuesday found that 43 percent of China’s farmers have fallen victim to land grabs, often orchestrated by local governments, leaving property holders unfairly compensated and lacking in means to make a living.
Last year, surveys showed that more than half of China’s tens of thousands of protests per year are directly related to land loss and forced resettlement.

Eventually Communist China will reach a boiling point with its citizens and have to make a choice between either escalating the already current slaughtering of its own citizenry who dare rail against the repressive establishment, or to direct attention outwards and wage war against America.
Being that power-drunk tyrant Communists will never want to lose their status at the top of the echelon, the latter is what’s most likely going to bear fruition.
America and Israel are always at fault for the entire world’s ills, according to tyrants who live by the sword and spread their ironically failed, murderous ideology, so therefore their assault will be justified even by the population.
The trouble with that argument is that at this point, both the US and Israel also have plenty of blood on their own hands…yet they still insist on pointing their fingers at the “tyrants who live by the sword” who are in turn pointing their fingers back at the US and Israel. “Don’t look at us…look over there! Over THERE!” All this really serves to do is prove the truth of the adage that when you point your finger at someone else, you have three fingers pointing back at yourself.
No one country is completely innocent in this world.
However, there are generally those in the Democratic world who deflect attention from home to ensure the survival of the country versus those in the Communist world who deflect attention from the world to slaughter their own at home to ensure the survival of the regime.
Can you guess the respective countries?
