China News Service, June 29th. According to the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, in order to implement the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and to completely curb the illegal construction of golf courses , National Development and Reform Commission , Ministry of Natural Resources , Ministry of Ecology and Environment , Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development , Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development , Ministry of Culture and Tourism, State Administration for Market Regulation, General Administration of Sports, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, National Forestry and Grassland Administration and other 11 departments have jointly deployed the "look back" work for the cleaning and rectification of golf courses for five consecutive years.
In 2021, 11 national departments guided all localities to strictly implement the "two responsibilities" of golf course cleaning and rectification, carry out on-site inspections, special inspections, etc., severely investigate and punish illegal and irregular courses, and continue to consolidate the results of the course cleaning and rectification. In the "look back" of cleaning up and rectifying in 2021, three serious problematic stadiums were found, including Shuangtai Hot Spring in Gaizhou City, Yingkou, Liaoning, Mingzhen Ecological Love Garden in Kunming, Yunnan, and Haidong Huzhu Rainbow Hometown Ecological Agriculture Park in Qinghai. At present, local governments have resolutely banned the above-mentioned stadiums and have seriously held relevant units and personnel accountable.
As of the end of 2021, a total of 259 stadiums have been closed nationwide, accounting for 37.6% of all stadiums. In the next step, the 11 national departments will steadily promote the cleaning and rectification of golf courses with a more resolute attitude, stricter requirements and more powerful measures, and resolutely stop the illegal construction of the courses. For the newly discovered serious problems, local governments will be urged to resolutely ban them in accordance with the "zero tolerance" attitude, and strictly hold relevant units and personnel accountable in accordance with the "one case and two investigation" work requirements.
