Land a problem
Will the Ministry of Land and Resources' action stop local governments from illegally grabbing land from villagers? No one seems to have an answer. But the ministry has a timetable for this campaign, and whatever the result may be, it would be better than nothing.
For nearly a month, from the end of February to the end of March, local governments are required to check on their own whether they have flouted the central government's policy on land requisition.
April will be the month for the local governments to rectify their mistakes under the supervision of the provincial-level land and resources administration. In May, the ministry will organize inspection teams to randomly check whether local governments have done a good job. In case of failure, the teams will urge them to rectify their mistakes within a given period.
