China wants to rein in developers

China, if one believes the "China Daily", close to the government seems determined to fight against the forced demolition of homes for real estate projects. To call for new measures, the China Daily in an editorial cites two recent cases: the death sentence of a real estate developer Wanzhou, accused of murdering a man who opposed the destruction of the house his parents, and was sentenced to three years imprisonment suspended for an owner who had killed one person, sent by a developer to break and enter his house. For the paper, these two cases are the result of a very long conflict between promoters and families whose homes are in construction zones. But the newspaper suggests, the aim is to find "a platform for developers and residents to negotiate as equals." The Chinese daily abnormal judge that proponents make huge profits, while residents do not pay that compensation, insufficient to buy a new home. Moreover, it is necessary to take measures to prevent property developers to resort to illegal means to destroy the houses. "Requiring developers to comply with rules, is also in the interest of good real estate development" in China, says the China Daily.
