Zhou, Wangbao: Chinese style demolition is a violation of human rights and the rule of law and trample
周望宝(Zhou, Wangbao)
With the process of urbanization in China is vigorously promoting the country, turned violent scenes of forced demolition demolition "demolition drama" again to stimulate the public's eye. Daily news can always see where demolition has a problem, a time of demolition bloodshed can always pull the government inaction and "abuse of power" phenomenon, from words to deeds, local officials have abandoned the total disregard of the people from untold miseries. In the forced evictions and demolition of violence, often legitimate rights of the indigenous residents of the individual being trampled. They petition trackless, lodge complaints, which often occurs in casualties, who have the self-immolation, making Mic those who have self-defense, people are buried under the excavators who have, one of the human tragedy Description forced relocation is no longer an isolated phenomenon, and become a serious social problem with the universal.
Behind the large number of reports of forced evictions, reflecting the interests of all parties contest, on the surface, the local government is to accelerate urbanization and increased GDP, real estate developers to lower prices to get the land as soon as possible, the original inhabitants To consider the compensation to the place, and later in life is exhausted or the rich. But in fact, the interests between local governments and real estate developers are consistent, where real estate development is conducive to the acceleration of urbanization, increase government revenue and GDP growth, while local government officials tend to be more direct and real estate development Indirect beneficiaries; But the interests of real estate developers and indigenous residents are fighting, and compensation for residents and more real estate developers means increased costs. This makes the contest into a conflict of interests of the parties as the original inhabitants of vulnerable groups and hold public authority of government officials and real estate developers.
In its development of a large amount of urbanization and economic growth in GDP, the government based on "Urban Housing Demolition Management Regulations", forced evictions and demolition of violence to put a layer of legitimacy, it represents the public interest, in fact, represents the forward or the interests of some local government officials real estate developers, when a government only cares about one-sided pursuit of revenue and high GDP growth, is bound to compete with the people, but a government compete with the people, how can services for the benefit of the people talk about protecting the interests of the people, let alone maintain fairness and justice of society? When the interests of the Government and developers huddled, collusion, the public authority has become a powerful means to achieve their interests; And with the backing of public authority, developers naturally unashamedly, even at the expense of the interests of the demolition who is also milli do not fear. Here, personal property and residential rights conferred by the Constitution to be the original inhabitants, the government and even violent demolitions demolition tough being overbearing and ruthlessly brutal assault, and judicial impartiality, the government often has become a demolitions umbrella. And government theory "Urban Housing Demolition Management Regulations" While in China, 2007 has been promulgated and implemented the "Property Law", but those homeowners holding body single Li Bo "Property Law" to defend their rights, to which the results pale, weak and helpless imagined. The so-called national laws, a place had to listen to local government regulations. Well, this is not exactly right with the law of the contest it? !
Right above the law in China, forced evictions and even violent demolition in essence, power attack, and those who ignore public opinion, do not take the program to force the demolition of housing, in fact, violate the legal rights of citizens behavior. The reason for this law is not the town, the right not to resist law, the right to trial in law, human rights have been violated, the rule of law has been trampled phenomenon, simply because there is no independent judiciary. So, in today's China, there is only the law can only be achieved without the rule of law, constitutional only difficult to achieve constitutional. And to change this situation, so that citizens their legitimate rights will not be violated, only the implementation of a democratic constitutional system reform, the establishment of a democratic, free, fair, rule of law, civil society wealthy.
