Faced with the abuses in the area of land development, China is now taking stiff measures to save its land resources, which are relatively scarce when compared to the country’s large population.

Officials from the Ministry of Land and Resources say the government is set to reform the old land allocation system that features unplanned and low efficient use of the resources.
