      abstract = {In this paper, I use the Monash Multi-Country model – a  dynamic Computable
General Equilibrium model of China,  Australia and the Rest of the World – to
analyse the  effects of removing border protection on wheat and rice in  China. The
analysis points to the possibility that removing  border protection on wheat and rice
may lead to an increase  in rural income in China. This is mainly due to the  following
two factors. First, removing border protection on  wheat and rice not only leads to
a contraction in  agricultural activities, but also leads to an expansion in  manufacturing
and services activities. Second, on average,  rural households in China obtain
over half of their income  from manufacturing and services activities.},
