Abstract:
Villagers’ autonomy, dating back to the 1980s, has developed vastly in rural China. It has, no doubt, brought huge changes to the countryside. In the process, however, it has also resulted in serious damage of minority interests due to some obsolete ideology, inadequate legal system, negligence of the interests of the minority, and lack of administrative restriction. A solution to the problems of minority interests can start with constructing relevant systems, nurturing village cadres’ lawabiding consciousness and villagers’ rights protection consciousness, and establishing a supervision and restriction mechanism so as to achieve a favorable environment for reducing the damage of minority interests.  

Key words: villagers’ autonomy, minority interests, damage, countermeasure
