Some interesting points though the emphasis on property rights for me is problematic when taken to it's ultimate conclusion: what human can rationally claim to own any land? Surely we are all at best temporary tenants of the land and / or stewards who should seek to maintain sustainable level of bio-diversity and bio-integrity? Still, his argument that the Dapu land seizure was first and foremost theft is right - as I remember, it was protested primarily as such and secondarily as a destruction of crops / environment issue.
* Torch Pratt nails the ROC centenary.
