Is Xinjiang still reclaiming land?

Recently, Xinjiang will organize a working group to conduct special inspections on this and conduct strict accountability. According to the investigation of Tarim Basin Administration, from 200 1 to 2002, about 10000 mu of wasteland was reclaimed in Tarim River Basin, of which about 30,000 mu was reclaimed locally and 80,000 mu was reclaimed by Corps. The Tarim Basin Committee once conducted a informed criticism on land reclamation in the Tarim River basin, which made the land reclamation behavior converge. However, after a lapse of half a year, in the second half of last year, the Tarim River Basin Administration conducted a survey on the land reclamation of the states and corps divisions in the basin again, and the results showed that the phenomenon of newly reclaimed land in some places rose again. Among them, Yuli County reclaimed 400 mu, and the irrigation area in the lower reaches of Tahe River of the Second Agricultural Division reclaimed 2020 mu. Since the beginning of this year, with the resumption of cotton planting boom, there has been an unprecedented upsurge of land reclamation in the Tarim River basin this spring. Yuli County alone approved more than 40,000 mu of land reclamation in the first two months of this year. In Korla and luntai county of Xinjiang, the phenomenon of land reclamation is also very serious.
