IRREGULARITIES have been found in land management across China and among reconstruction projects after the Sichuan earthquake in 2008, China's top auditor said in separate reports yesterday.
Shanghai's Qingpu District was among 12 cities and counties that were found embezzling land development funds valued at 1.54 billion yuan (US$244 million), or 0.88 percent of the total funds in 2009 and 2010, the National Audit Office said yesterday.
The district, along with Wuhu City in Anhui Province and Zhongmou County in Henan Province, was found to have illegally using a combined 664,000 square meters of farmland for theme parks and residential projects. Qingpu was also one of 12 places that undercharged and exempted a combined 3.6 billion yuan of revenue from land sales.
There is no breakdown for the irregularities in each city or county, and some local governments have already corrected the violations. Further correction is under way, it said.
The results were released after China's top auditor finished examining the management of land and land funds of 24 cities and counties during 2009 and 2010.
The annual scrutiny on land issues aims to improve preservation of China's arable land, guarantee land supply for homes and welfare needs, and enhance control on the use of land development funds.
In its other report, the office said 63 of 939 post-Sichuan earthquake reconstruction projects it inspected from 2010 to 2011 involved irregular management and problematic designing. Auditing flaws had been found in 188 projects.
