Wise decision! No more golf courses for the couple of super rich guys! - China puts golf courses on hold
Beijing cracks down on abuse of farmland by halting construction and arresting two officials in Shandong for taking bribes

By Jason Leow

BEIJING - Construction of golf courses on farmland across China was halted this month following a government crackdown on land abuse which led to the arrest of two officials in eastern Shandong province.

Last year alone, China lost 2.53 million ha of arable land, an increase of 50 per cent over 2002. Land is lost not only to golf courses, but also to industrial parks that local governments build in the name of development.

Farmers often are the victims of illegal land use.

The Land Ministry last year received more than 4,000 complaints and petitions - an increase of over 50 per cent compared to 2002 - from angry farmers.
