| Abstract | Northwest China's Ningxia has vast stretches of arid semiarable land and other natural resources. Its economy developed rapidly, raising living standards remarkably over the past 17 years of reform and opening up. But plagued by perennial drought and poor soil, Ningxia still lags behind the country in social and economic development. |
