Guess I wasn't clear. Yes ownership isn't essential but does make you more inclined to object to perceived negatives. In China the state owns the land, not the municipalities, nor private parties, so even if you live there you don't have much of a say. The state makes plans at such a large scale. This is why the Chinese are so efficient at building high speed rail, there aren't smaller municipalities, property owners, etc. that can object.

>In China the state owns the land, not the municipalities, nor private parties, so even if you live there you don't have much of a say. You're confusing cause an effect. The reason why people there don't have much of a say isn't because they can't own land. In fact both are caused by the same common factor: the country is communist.

  >How do you explain nail houses in China then? A private entity trying to buy a private entity is not the same as the Chinese government taking or using the land they, the state, owns: "According to the Constitution, land in cities is owned by the State; land in the rural and suburban areas is owned by the State or by collectives. (Constitution, art. 10.) Although individuals cannot privately own land, they may obtain transferable land-use rights for a number of years for a fee."[0] Any chance your bold assertion is something you just pulled out of the air?
