The dissertation research focuses on the latest phase of China's urbanization, as China is now relocating millions of peasant households in rural peripheries into densely populated high-rises. I seek to explain the co-existence of two internally contradictory phenomena: the strengthening of the central state's supervision of land management, and a severe infiltration of private and speculative investment into rural peripheries when private investors are increasingly involved in land expropriation and resistance silencing. I ask: How does speculative and predatory capital find its way into the hinterland villages, when China has unprecedentedly strengthened regulations to prevent land speculation and control urban sprawl? To answer this question, I conducted institutional ethnographies in local land bureaus in five provinces in China (Sichuan, Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, and Guangxi), and in a real estate company based in Shandong. I carried out interviews with local officials, relocated peasants, resistant households, and real estate staff members. I also studied archives in form of maps, satellite images, and government reports. I argue that, the infiltration of predatory investment capital into rural peripheries is not a neoliberal transformation, but rather the unintended consequence of a series of local responses to highly heterogeneous central policies. The local state is found to fundamentally restructure its control over land, in order to simultaneously conform to central rules, and maximize land income. More specifically, the center's reliance on digital data to carry out supervision prompts the local states to strengthen their planning function, by redirecting the supervision tools to expand urban frontier, and by reconstructing communities on an unprecedented scale to maximize land conversion quotas. In the meantime, the center's tightening control on bank loans and social unrest has induced a transfer of local government's key tasks, i.e. funding land expropriation and silencing peasant unrest, to private investors. Consequently, the remote villages in China's hinterland hitherto unaffected by urbanization face ferocious land speculation and land expropriation. Inexperienced in land bargaining, peasant households are challenged by predatory real estate companies, who assume no responsibility in guaranteeing survival or welfare of peasant households. Finally, I discuss tightening investment entry rules, and developing counter-mapping strategies as potential efficient interventions.
