The resettlement project is the most ambitious of its kind in China and perhaps the world. Officials see it as a triumph of government benevolence and engineering. “Its[sic] a miracle in poverty reduction, to take a piece of wasteland and transform it,” said Zheng Yaliang, Communist party secretary for Hongsibu. “Very few countries could do this.”

- Tan (2017) undertook a survey in Hongsibu, central Ningxia, which is the largest single environmental resettlement area in China, receiving up to 170,000 people between 2001 and 2010. The author finds that climate impacts are repeated in the relocation area, inducing households to pursue a new relocation; besides, households with low socioeconomic status and those with more local kinship ties were less likely to plan for relocation.
