Residents in an upscale housing complex in northern China’s Tianjin City are desperately hanging on to their homes. The housing community, which borders the wetlands, is being demolished due to environmental concerns, according to local authorities. But the homeowners don’t believe this reason and suspect the authorities have ulterior motives for the forced demolition.
A resident, surnamed Li, spoke with the Chinese-language Epoch Times on Dec. 30. He did not reveal his full name due to the sensitivity of the matter. He decided to contact the publication to expose the incident because he believes the Chinese state-run media would decline to report it.
