Beijing municipal party and government offices published implementation opinions
launching a citywide pilot to extend second‑round rural land contracting
agreements by 30 years upon their expiry. The directive reaffirms household
contracting as the foundational arrangement and an extension‑not‑reset
principle, mandates household‑level extensions using existing contracted‑land
registration and certification records, and prohibits renegotiation,
redistribution, illegal adjustment or recovery of contracted land, stressing
legal protection of farmers’ rights and long‑term stability of land‑contracting
relationships.
