In early November, businesspeople in New Luoshiwan wholesales center located in Kunming city, the capital of southwest China’s Yunnan Province, spent three days protesting their rent hikes.
On Nov. 3, around 11 a.m., more than 2,000 police officers and security guards showed up and forced them to pay off their rents on the due dates, or else they would have to move out of the center.
