The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued opinions on the pilot work to extend land contract periods by an additional 30 years after the second round of land contract expirations. The opinions emphasize strict management of mobile land and newly added cultivated land. The area of mobile land must not exceed 5% of the total cultivated land of the collective economic organization and must not be increased. Newly added cultivated land through legal reclamation, re reclamation, and land consolidation must be strictly managed, with land ownership clearly defined by the government at or above the county level. Land designated as rural collective-owned cultivated land shall be incorporated into rural collective property management. Under the premise of respecting farmers' wishes, land rights and land use rights can be confirmed through methods such as land rights confirmation and household contracting, and various approaches can be used to develop production and operations. Income from collective management shall mainly be used for dividends to ensure that members of the collective economic organization benefit. (Xinhua News Agency)

Opinions of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council on Doing a Good Job in Piloting the Extension for a Further 30 Years After the Expiration of the Second Round of Land Contracting. The Opinions point out that strict management shall be implemented for both “idle land” and newly added cultivated land. The area of idle land may not exceed 5% of the total area of cultivated land of the collective economic organization, and no new idle land shall be added. Newly added cultivated land created through lawful reclamation, rehabilitation, and land consolidation shall be strictly managed; the governments at or above the county level shall, according to law, specify land ownership. Cultivated land that has been designated as collectively owned by rural collectives shall be brought into the management of rural collective assets. Subject to respecting farmers’ wishes, contracting households through methods such as confirming land rights and confirming shares can adopt various ways to develop production and manage operations. The income and benefits obtained from collective operations shall be mainly used for dividends, so as to ensure that members of the collective economic organizations benefit. (Xinhua News Agency)
