The Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources on Monday began to dispatch 30 teams to inspect the land market order around the country.
The 30 teams will be sent in three groups to China's 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities over two months. The first group of ten teams set out on Monday to Tianjin Municipality and the provinces of Liaoning, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Hubei, Guangdong and Sichuan.
The task of the teams is to inspect land control problems like the abuse of occupation of public land, illegal trade and lax management of land resources.
The teams will also research real estate development and the completion of the annual national land use plan.
