“The move-in area is one of the last⟳, largely unsettled areas of Qinghai suitable for irrigated agriculture. The economic benefits touted by the WB for the project were largely undisputed. Crop yields near the move-in area were already three to four times higher than those in the move-out area, and the WB estimated that, in a few years, settlers would be able to triple or quadruple their incomes and have⟳ better health care and educational facilities than they had in eastern Qinghai.⁵¹⁸ While there were no schools for many settler group children in eastern Qinghai,⁵¹⁹ ten schools that would reflect⟳ the ethnic and language background of students were to be built for ethnic minority transmigrants.⁵²⁰ Because the settlers were to live⟳ in twenty-four compact villages in a small part of the county, they would have⟳ left the rest⟳ of it undisturbed.⁵²¹ Tibetans were to live⟳ in a separate⟳ area, near villages inhabited by fellow Buddhist ethnic Tu people.⁵²² The projected increase⟳ in economic activity in the county would likely provide⟳ some opportunities for those already living there. As pointed out by the Dalai Lama’s nephew, who lives in his uncle’s hometown in Ping’an County (part of the move-out area), those remaining in the move-out area would also benefit from an increase⟳ in available land⟳ there and from less strain⟳ on resources.⁵²³”
