Lhasa tightens oversight of village funds, assets and resources
Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, has carried out a campaign to improve management of rural collective funds, assets and natural resources.
The city says the work included checking village records against assets on the ground and registering them on a digital platform.
New rules and public notices are intended to make village finances easier for residents to check.
The platform also links idle collective property with a rural trading service, which can help villages put unused land and buildings to use.
Officials say investigations targeted suspected wrongdoing, and funds from 688 village groups have been placed in the accounts of their village collective economic organizations.
The changes matter because village collectives rely on these resources for income, while residents can take part in decisions and oversight.
Lhasa has intensified a campaign to improve oversight of village collective funds, assets and resources in 2026.
The city says it has introduced digital monitoring and published rules to make transactions more transparent.
Officials say all funds held by 688 village groups are now managed through their village collective economic organizations.
The campaign has also included investigations into suspected problems and revisions to 67 related institutional mechanisms.
Residents interviewed by China News Service said clearer accounts and public information had increased confidence and participation.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
Previously, we had no clear idea how many assets the village had or how the money was used. Now the accounts are clear, every expense is open, and people feel much more reassured.
We established a dual-task-force mechanism, with the city discipline inspection and supervision commission and the agriculture and rural affairs bureau working together to combine supervision and regulation.
Previously, even village officials could not clearly say how much collective property the village had. Now everything is registered and entered on the monitoring platform, and every transaction is transparent.
We established a rural revitalization supervision model that uses data screening and comparison to identify anomalies, including in the distribution of dividends from poverty-alleviation industries.
