résumé
Examining rents and taxes in 19th- and 20th-century China, this text shows how in real terms, tax burdens on landlords rose due to higher state levies. Simultaneously, rents earned by landlords fell due to state interference and peasant resistance, csusing a progressive weakening of landlord power.
