@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.

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.

A call for volunteers: Sprucing up a Kunming school for migrants kids
Posted byVery glad to hear of this. I won't be able to participate personally, as I'll be out of China at the time, but I encourage everybody else to (I hope that does't sound lame). Maybe there's some other way I can help out?

Migrant workers receive bricks in lieu of pay
Posted byAnother reason to allow ALL workers to become trade union members, with none of the bullshit about migrants from rural areas not really being 'workers' because their id cards say they are farmers. Much of china's economic 'success' has been built on the backs of such people - yeah, but...Whose success was that now?
