If you go into the old house that is restored and read the history (ok - the developer's version of the history) it sounds like the homes were real toilets (except they didn't have real toilets). There wasn't anything to restore - rotten foundations, no services and generally poor conditions. Were your inlaws compensated?
I know this sounds cold, but I don't have sympathy for everyone in these situations. There is always someone that refuses to go even if the development is obviously for the general good (not talking XTD here). Even more will romanticize about how good it was and virtually all will say they were under compensated. My inlaws were also evicted from a small home in a different area. I think they were compensated fairly and they don't complain. They complain louder about their big house that was taken away after 1949. |

Even today if a developer (or government) wants the property they can push the people out of their homes. Happens all the time and there was a recent event near Beijing where the developer sent gangsters to beat up the people who wouldn't accept the small amount of money and leave.
Now the New China has returned to the Old Capitalist China before "liberation" wouldn't the property stolen from families be returned?
Just saying... |

No that logic only applies if the COUNTRY of China whines about items they believe to be belonging to the country. In that case these crying thieving little bastards argue that it all belongs to china but this logic doesn't apply when the government of china steals from its own people, only when the government perceives things must be repatriated back to china, even if they don't actually belong to this crappy country or if they were legally purchased in the past.
Its this flawed communist logic, right?
