The article states that China's problem is too many little farms, and that farmers can't consolidate because the land is owned by the government. It even goes as far as suggesting that private ownership of the land would help get bigger, more efficient farms instead of a larger number of smaller ones. I understand this is a US site so they're not allowed to say that, but aren't they basically making the case for collective farming (as in communism)?
