Communists beat homeowners, demolish homes

More Communist Chinese attacks on homeowners.
A few months ago the residents of Wukan, China, a fishing village in the southern Guangdong province, marched to demand the government take action over illegal land grabs and the death of a local leader who was taken into custody. The village of around 13,000 inhabitants accused local officials of stealing communal land without compensating them. Anger boiled over when a village leader tasked with negotiating with authorities over the row died in police custody.

Land clashes

In China, all land is ultimately owned by the state, but is allocated to rural communities under collective contract and through the household responsibility system that replaced the state-run farms and communes of the Mao era.

Land acquisition for development, often resulting in lucrative property deals for local officials, sparks thousands of protests by local communities across China every month, many of which escalate into clashes with police.

In recent years, property owners all over China have complained that existing leasehold contracts are being flouted by local officials and developers keen to swell revenue coffers with lucrative land deals.

China already sees thousands of “mass incidents” across the country every year, according to official statistics.

Many of these are protests or sit-ins linked to forced evictions, allegations of corruption, or disputes over land sales.
