Media clarity

You may not know it, but some reporters push one side of a story and I am going to set one story straight. A couple of weeks ago, I watched a BBC broadcast about people who were being forced out of their homes to make room for flower beds. Although this is true, they totally missed the fact that those flower beds are merely temporary fill until a building is built. See the photo? This is Nanjing Rd in Tianjin, really the major corridor for businesses. The bottom left of the photo shows a large park area. This is actually two sites which will be developed in the next few years. The Chinese government isn't just forcing people out of their homes, there is a greater purpose. Additionally, the property rights law which was ratified last October requires compensation for relocation in event of Chinese-styled Eminent Domain reclamation. The downside of that plan is there is not established market for property as a family will often live in a home for generations.
