Tips

culture
土地使用权 (land-use right) is a key concept in mainland Chinese property law. Because all urban land is state-owned, what you "buy" when you purchase a home is technically the long-term 使用权 (typically 70 years for residential), not 所有权 (ownership) of the land itself.
usage
Distinguish 使用权 (right to use) from 所有权 (suǒyǒuquán, ownership). You can have 使用权 without owning, e.g. renting an apartment or licensing software.
