("本周，《纽约时报》刊登了两篇记者发自中国北方沙漠的报道，检视那些被政府称为 '生态移民' 的人的困境。第一篇用视觉叙事的手法讲述了居住在不断扩大的腾格里沙漠东部边缘人们的故事。第二篇是关于宁夏回族自治区推行的世界上最大的移民安置计划的。 中国政府已在阻止沙漠扩大化、重新安置这些地区的人民方面做出不少努力。但是，政府做的事情正确吗？接受采访时，牛津大学从事地理研究的特洛伊·斯滕伯格(Troy Sternberg)谈了自己的看法")

Quote:

China "has resettled 1,140,000 residents ['Economic Migrants'] of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region"

"As in much of northern China, most of Ningxia's 26,000 square miles are desert, including the areas chosen for resettlement. Government officials say places like Miaomiao Lake 庙庙湖村 are still an improvement over Xihaigu 西海固[地区的叶家河村] — the vast region of southern and central Ningxia where the Mas and the other migrants came from — because they are closer to highways; to Yinchuan, Ningxia's capital; and to the Yellow River, a major water source that helped give birth to Chinese civilization.

"A third of Ningxia's population — and most of the people who have been resettled — are Hui Muslim. Some Western scholars say Chinese resettlement policies are at least partly aimed at controlling ethnic minority populations, and officials may cite environmental reasons as a cover.
