如果不进行土地的私有化，农民就无法以市场价格出售土地用于城市开发，这给滥权和腐败创造了空间，也为社会动荡埋下了祸根，特别是因为在中国高速增长时期，城市和农村土地价值差距迅速拉大。
Without privatization, the farmers could not sell their land at market value for urban development, creating space for abuse and corruption, as well as social instability, particularly because urban and rural land values widened substantially during China’s high-growth period.
