The Chinese government has officially opened a website on land
and resources to supply the public and businesses with more
information and services on resources.
By logging on to www.lrn.cn, which is sponsored by the Ministry
of Land and Resources (MLR), visitors can research findings on
China's land and resources, local resources statistics, resources
industry news, and investment information in land and mining
markets.
Wang Shiyuan, vice minister of Land and Resources, said the
website would help promote the development of China's land and
resources industry.
With the rapid development of China's economy, land and
resources shortages have become more serious.
"The previous website of the MLR failed to supply information on
resources market analyses, investment, science, education and
tourism, and the new website may overcome these shortcomings," said
an MLR official.
