This paper assesses how the widely perceived changes in the economy and society of China will affect future land use at the regional level. It also shows the consequences of these changes on future inter-regional and international trade flows of land-based products. In order to conduct an integrated and consistent assessment, we develop a mixed input–output model characterized by strong biophysical linkages and the incorporation of supply-constraints to the major land-consuming sectors. The spatial aspect of the assessment is provided by a number of fairly large and detailed geographical databases implemented in a geographical information system, including biophysical attributes of land and demographic distribution.

- Assessment of regional trade and virtual water flows in China (2007, methodology): “Therefore we divide China into eight hydro-economic regions to establish water accounts for each region (shown in Figure 1) based on watersheds and provincial level administrative boundaries2 (see Hubacek and Sun 2001).”
- Scenario Simulation and the Prediction of Land Use and Land Cover Change in Beijing, China (2015, background): “Some current LULC models have improved the analysis of the influence of a single factor on LULC change, but are unable to consider the effects of multiple factors and different processes that reflect spatial dimensions [30].”
- The Impacts of Household Consumption and Options for Change (2010, unknown): “This characterization does not hold, of course, if there are significant differences in the incomes and lifestyles of urban and rural populations, as is frequently the case in industrializing countries (Hubacek and Sun 2001, 2005) and Tukker et al. (2006b) in Volume 10, Issues 1–2, 2006.”
- Socio-economic development and land-use change: Analysis of rural housing land transition in the Transect of the Yangtse River, China (2007, background): “…change (LUCC) have attracted interest among a wide variety of researchers, ranging from those who are modelling the spatial and temporal patterns of land conversion, to those who try to understand the causes and consequences of land-use changes (Irwin and Geoghegan, 2001; Burgi et al., 2004).”
- Changing lifestyles and consumption patterns in developing countries: A scenario analysis for China and India (2007, background): “On one hand, China has fast-developing urban growth centres in the coastal areas and, on the other hand, backward rural areas that are each associated with distinct income, lifestyle and expenditure patterns” (Hubacek and Sun, 2001, p. 369).”
- Outsourcing CO2 within China (2013, background): “Although China is often seen as a homogeneous entity, it is a vast country with substantial regional variation in physical geography, economic development, infrastructure, population density, demographics, and lifestyles (1).”
- Tele-connecting local consumption to global land use (2013, result): “Our results show China displaces 39 Mha (23% of its foreign land displacement) land to meet its food demand; and this trend is likely to increase with the growth of population, economy and changing lifestyles (Hubacek and Sun, 2001).”
