BEIJING - More than half of cities surveyed during a spot check on land acquisition were found to have broken the rules.
The latest survey carried out by the National Audit Office (NAO) found illegal land acquisition occurring in many cities and a few local governments faking figures about available farmland.
The audit was carried out in 11 provinces and autonomous regions including Hebei, Jiangsu, Ningxia and Hainan last year.
