CHINESE authorities mobilized nearly 15,000 people in a nationwide crackdown on illegal surveying and mapping last year, the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping said yesterday.
The crackdown which involved more than 2,200 law enforcement operations has helped restore order in the market for geographic information and safeguard national security and interests, the bureau said in a statement.
Ten major cases of illegal surveying and mapping last year were listed by the bureau. One case involved a Japanese national who was caught surveying and mapping in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region last year without Chinese government approval.
The Japanese national used a GPS receiver to collect information on 598 geographic coordinates under the guise of sightseeing and environmental inspection.
Of these coordinates, 588 were within Xinjiang and 85 within the Tacheng Military Zone, according to the statement. Local authorities fined the Japanese national and confiscated relevant surveying devices and data.
The other nine major cases mostly involved local companies or institutions publicizing maps without government approval, destroying survey marks, or conducting surveying and mapping without government permission.
The bureau said that the central government will continue to crack down on illegal surveying and mapping and speed up the development of policies to boost the market.
