The final settlement of all nomads has been envisaged by the Chinese government in May 2013. This seems to be the last step in a sequence of revolutionary and modernization efforts in order to transform the social organization and livelihoods of pastoralists in China. Shortly after the Chinese Revolution collectivization marked a first significant hiatus in pastoral practices. After Deng Xiaoping's reforms to modernize the country several steps have been taken to privatize pastoral activities. In recent years resettlement programs within the campaign of the “Great Development of the West” have been instrumental in a further significant change of rural livelihoods.
