A visitor to Jingbian county in northern Shaanxi province finds at its heart a thriving oil town in the grip of a state-owned company, Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum. Yanchang's building, 12 storeys high, towers over the low-slung town. The company is by far Jingbian's largest employer and taxpayer. This region in north-western China was known for impoverished peasants dwelling in caves hewn out of the deep, compacted soils of the Loess plateau. In a decade Jingbian has become a booming company town. Quite how it became this is a tale worth telling. In Jingbian the government appears to have fallen far short of its own insistence that it is committed to the rule of law and the protection of private property rights. Instead the county has become an exemplar for the saying guojin mintui, shorthand for "the state advances, while the private sector retreats". The government also argues that the public always profits when the state wins.
