Privatalisation of farm lands?? Good for chinese or bad? edit
- The current article states that a ban on the private farm lands had caused massive harm to chinese society and culture..based on what truth?
According to a Guardian paper quoted study,
"Privatisation in eastern Europe often led to massive thefts of public property by oligarchs and became deeply unpopular, with strong majorities of people in all post-Communist countries wanting its revision. Privatisation is also disliked in India, Latin America and China itself, while studies of privatisation in many parts of the world show it can have a deleterious effect on development. Land privatisation in China would rapidly create land concentration and landless peasants."

It is a country with a vast population and filthy rich people could have easily bought out large private land banks and left very few for the poor peasants. Hence is it right to make such a bold pro capitalist statement that a ban on private land is indeed harmful to chinese civillians? Or that it omits the disadvantages of privatisation of lands.202.52.36.52 (talk) 06:17, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- yeah, you wrote this in an article about the greatest famine in human history, caused by communism.
- let me know when capitalism causes the greatest famine in human history.
- by the way you are conflating capitalism with oligarchism, when you should be talking about descentralization against centralization which is really the culprit of this issue. 88.131.68.199 (talk) 11:06, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Typo in Other Impacts/Education edit
The first sentence is lacking the "from" year. Can anyone please add sources and fix this? Thanks. 14.248.29.8 (talk) 06:49, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Little late to the party, but thanks for noticing that! I've removed the "from" for now, until the source is verified and the date found. GoldRomean (talk) 01:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
