Table of content
The First Modernisation: Agriculture 🌾
- The Shift from Commune to Xiang
- Commune = Old system
- Xiang = New system
- Household Responsibility System
- Not about collective units anymore.
- Individual peasants & families had to contribute.
- If they pay taxes and fulfill quotas:
- Allowed to sell extra produce for private profit.
- 🥦 Real-World Example: Imagine a school cafeteria where every student has to bring one dish. If you bring more than one, you can sell the extras and keep the money!
- Was it successful?
- Yup! Especially in the early 1980s.
Problems with Land Reform 🌍🚜
- Pros of ending collectivisation:
- Many benefits for the peasants!
- But...there's a catch! 🎣
- Most farmers had 15-year leases, not permanent land ownership.
- After 15 years? Land = 🔄 Back to the state.
- Government = "Maybe we'll extend leases" BUT peasants = 🤨 "We don't trust you!".
- 🎥 Real-World Example: Imagine renting a movie. You have it for a week. You'd love to watch it over and over, but you know it's not truly yours. And if the store says, "Maybe you can have it longer," would you trust them?
- The Impact:
- Peasants unsure about land's future = Less keen to improve or invest in it.
- Government's goal of modernising farming = 👎 Not really met.
