Abstract
十个全覆盖,幸福全覆 (Ten Complete Covers, Complete Happy Covers) - this is the government propaganda about the Ten Covers project on the grassland. One can see in the video that in the newly built town of Altan Oboo sumu, Chinese restaurants operate along the street serving the truckers passing through the town. New blocks of buildings have been built for herders, and the houses and yards are all painted with pictures reflecting the nomadic lifestyle. On the square in front of the government building, some women are doing their morning dances to the tune of blaring music.
