@Liumingke: Do you really think of foreigners in China being in a situation of us vs. them?
Either you're joking or paranoid.

Relocations can be good or bad; when Power decides they must be forced, it should be a wake-up call that Power has been, and is still, doing something wrong.

Outlet for train/bus tickets just across bridge from north end of Wenhua Xiang - go there, show passport, buy ticket, get it immediately.

I.e.: Absolute private/group ownership is only a concept; doesn't exist in the real world, where what 'ownership' means is always a matter of some compromise between common agreement concerning use rights, on the one hand, and concentrated power on the other. Nice when the compromise is accurately and clearly specified in law, and the law is enforced, though - which seems not to be what happened in John Israel's case.

Then we can decide what to do about, e.g., 19th century Alabama laws, or any laws about ownership.

@nnoble: Disagreements over criteria, okay. I'm not sure what the criteria, especially that of the better off who are not indignant, are, but I hope this effort to do something about absolute poverty enjoys some success.

Economies that put As much as a US$ 1 million in the hands of one person while another makes $1 a day, no matter how it is done, are so far away from anything that might be called economic justice that more questions have to be asked about the overall system than anyone seems to dare to ask - and as to doing something serious about it, one meets nothing but ridicule, defeatism and suppression.
I hope this is all more than just more words, but it's' a long way from here to human decency. The mention of relocation is also a bit worrying.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
