Abstract  Rural tourism in China has become a double-edged sword, alleviating poverty in rural communities on one side and causing spatial injustice on the other side. The latter, however, has not yet been paid the attention it deserves from the academic and political circles. With Polanyi's embeddedness theory as basis, this study analyzes the disembedding path of the residential-to-commercial conversion system and reveals the mechanism that leads to spatial injustice. It also carries out an empirical research on Miao Village in Xijiang via quantitative and qualitative methods such as onsite observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The results indicate the following: the immediate cause of spatial injustice in rural community tourism is the disembeddedness of modern tourism economy; its systematic root is the disembeddedness of the conversion system. At its current stage, rural tourism in China has both the embeddedness of agricultural economy and the disembeddedness of tourism economy and the relevant system-Polanyi's notions of the embedded and disembedded and their systematic distinction are explanatory to the conflict. An effective method to reduce the spatial injustice is to apply anti-disembedding measures to the residential-to-commercial conversion system.
