Same is true in China, they have laws lmao.
Also you kinda can, eminent domain has famously been used against entire populations that a mayor, governor, or urban planner simply didn't like.
Ok tankie
So what do you not actually care about whether property ownership is meaningfully different in China vs western countries beyond its use as hostile evidence?
I care about good faith arguments, and you're not making one.
I told you how things actually work, in both China and America, is anything that doesn't reinforce preconceived notions bad faith to you?
You're using the USA, a country just as shit if not worse than China when it comes to human rights to try and make China look good.
That's the bad faith argument.
Property isn't a human right.
America is the easiest as I am most familiar with it since I lived there. There's no European country I am aware of that doesn't require you pay money to continue to own property, and have the ability to force you to sell at a price they pick, if they say they have a reason.
Yes, you can argue against them in court, that's true in China too, and there are rare cases where the state doesn't have a legal mechanism to do so, and the highway or w/e has to be routed around the home, that's true in China too.
Ok tankie
