First Financial News: The Central Rural Work Conference was held in Beijing on December 27. When Premier Wen Jiabao spoke at the meeting, he stressed that the key to advancing the reform of the collective land acquisition system lies in guaranteeing farmers’ land property rights, allocating value-added benefits arising from the non-agriculturalization of land and urbanization, and it is necessary and conditional to substantially increase farmers’ land ownership. The proportion of distribution in value-added income.

And whether they stay in the countryside or enter the town, nobody has the right to deprive them.

Wen Jiabao said that over the past 30 years, hundreds of millions of peasants have entered the city, which has changed the fate of hundreds of millions of peasants and injected a strong impetus for economic development. To make migrant workers in cities truly become urban residents, it is by no means simple to change their household registration. China’s population is huge, and it is impossible to complete the urbanization of the population by only a few urban areas and a few economically developed areas. To guide the flow of people in a rational way, we must take measures to allow qualified migrant workers to gradually settle in families where they are located, but also to guide the transfer of industries to the interior, to small and medium-sized cities and small towns, and to allow more farmers to transfer employment on the spot.

Wen Jiabao also stressed that the key to advancing the reform of the collective land acquisition system is to protect farmers’ land property rights and allocate the value-added benefits of land non-agriculturalization and urbanization. It should be noted that China's economic development has greatly improved, and it is no longer necessary to reduce the cost of industrialized urbanization by sacrificing farmers’ rights to land and land. It is necessary and conditional to significantly increase the distribution ratio of farmers in land appreciation revenue.
