From NetEase:
Violent Forced Demolition in Nanchang, with Residents Holding Gas Tanks and Threatening to Jump Off the Building
March 28, in Jiangxi Province Nanchang City, at the intersection between Beijing East Road and Shanghai North Road, a confrontation happened between the forced demolition crew and city residents, during which a man confronted forced demolition crew sitting on window sill with a compressed gas cylinder in his arms, and a female house owner clashed with forced demolition crew on the rooftop, threatening to jump off after being surrounded by the forced demolition crew. The forced demolition crew charged up to the rooftops, driving off all the residents, and seized all the gas tanks and the national flags hung up by the home owners. Because they were outmatched in force, some of the homeowners could only powerlessly and helplessly look on as the bulldozers downstairs demolished their houses.
Scenes of the forced demolition.
“To rise environmentally”
“To develop in a civilized way”
“Hard work can rejuvenate the nation”
