After the establishment of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the new law enforcement agency, the National Natural Resources Inspector (Law Enforcement) Working Group, publicly reported the investigation results of the 16 case today. It is worth noting that in this 16 case, there are not only illegal cases in the areas under the jurisdiction of the former Ministry of Land and Resources, such as land and minerals, but also cases of newly adjusted functional departments such as forestry. Cui Ying, the convener of the National Natural Resources Supervision (Law Enforcement) Working Group, pointed out that the competent natural resources departments at all levels will seriously investigate and deal with the "trilateral project" of applying, approving and building at the same time, as well as the practice of breaking the whole into parts and approving without authorization.
