Abstract

This paper attempts to rethink “Rural China” in China’s development in order to argue for rural regeneration as an alternative to destructive modernization. Major issues include: 1. historical review of China’s modernization; 2. land issue in China; 3. pro-capital crisis and cost transfer to the rural; 4. the “three dimensional problems of agrarian issues”; 5. experiments of rural regeneration; 6. rural regeneration as historical agency. These issues may provide insights to overcoming the destructive aspects of global capitalism.
