Land Requisition by Government The government levies land from farmers for the public benefit;therefore, they by some way to reach a goal. The Legislative Yuan passed an imposed agricultural land bill. Thousands of farmers and other protesters came to Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office to stay overnight. The next day, they grew rice on Ketagalan Boulevard. Farmers who were from different areas used these measures to express their anger and wanted the government to revise the law. However, Taiwan's government has allowed consortiums to the name of national development, development of industrial zones to conduct land acquisition. Besides, after the law passed, the local government also had a power to ask farmers to give their land to them if it is necessary. In fact, there were still many industrial places not to use. Why does the government need to conduct the law? Firstly, the Legislative Yuan passed an imposed agricultural land bill, which is an irresponsible and unfair behavior. This behavior was like a pirate robbing people their own property. In this event, farmers did not have right to express their opinion, and they just accepted the decision the government made. They faced to lose their job and homeland. It might start a panic because we do not know who will be the next victim. Citizens may think this event had nothing to do with them because you are not a farmer. Likewise, this time was land requisition, and next time may be requisition house for other reason. Once the law passes, citizens do not have right to say no. Secondly, the government said it is for public utilities, and they were just conducting land acquisition. They will pay compensation to farmers. It was not only involved in the tax burden on people, it is also about land appreciation tax, because land appreciation tax has a close relationship with the level of the land acquisition compensation premium.

    The laws will be very helpful for both the farmers and the people. Frequently the laws will allow the farmers to use water, but not as much as they have been. The citizens are having to deal with this situation. Causing them not to live how they normally should. In this case, the farmers are afraid about not using all the water that they need for their crops. If the crops don’t get enough water, it can cause damage. Like, no food for the people, meaning no money, and making no money can lead to people losing their jobs. "I have to look at buying less pickups, employing less people, buying less tractors. You name it, from top to bottom," said Pete Belluomini, the VP of Farming for Lehr Brothers Inc (Source 1). What the farmers don’t understand is what they’re doing to the society for the people. Many of the citizens are forced to safe their water for their needs that are very necessary. Like, washing their clothes, or not showering. “That includes deciding whether to use precious water hauled from the local fire stations for the “bird baths” Mrs Gallegos says everyone now has instead of showers, or flushing the toilet’’ (Source 2). There are even citizens using their bird baths to clean themselves. The people aren’t even using their basic civil rights. Everyone should be allowed to take a shower when they please, even being able to wash their clothes. Since the farmers are using too much water, it’s…

    The core problems of widespread poverty, growing inequality, and rapid population growth originate in the stagnation and retrogression of economic life in rural areas. Therefore, for development to take place sustainably, it has to include rural areas in general and the agricultural sector in particular. The Lewis two sector models provides a good example of a theory placing emphasis on industrial growth fueled by the agricultural sector through surplus labor and cheap food. Today development economists have come to realize that the agricultural sector in particular and rural economy in general must play an indispensable part in any strategy of economic development. China is one of the countries which put this into practice after the 1949 revolution when it embarked on its rural transformation. During the past 50 years, China's leaders experimented with various measures to develop the country's rural areas. In the pre 1978 period, these measures were usually implemented in the form of mass mobilization campaigns, associated with various political and ideological movements. After the 1978 reforms, the measures consisted of legal and institutional reforms, as well as large-scale infrastructure projects mainly by the central government. There are eight rural transformation strategies which were employed by China these were: Land reform 1949-1953, Collectivization 1953-1956, Great Leap Forward, Agricultural Communes 1957-1961, Damage control 1962-1965, The Cultural Revolution 1966-1976, First phase of economic reforms: introduction of family farming 1978-1984, Second reform phase: price and market liberalization 1985-1989, as well as the Recent reforms of structural improvements 1990 – Present. This paper will therefore seek to critically evaluate the above-mentioned strategies which were employed by China. It will also show that not all of these strategies were employed by the Chinese were favorable but nevertheless they toiled until they managed to develop their…
