8 killed in Yunnan land dispute ( 6 burned alive )

[TaiShang]

Land disputes occur everywhere regardless democracy or monarchy. In extreme cases, like the tragic event that occurred over the week, emotions run high and people are injured or killed. That's a local issue that should not make international headlines.

It is not the first time that local government and residents do not agree on certain local policy, especially when it relates to people's livelihoods. It is a brawl going out of control. Nothing more really.

This is not surprising. The surprising thing is that it makes headlines.

I provide the below examples not to bash the said nations, but to empirically prove that land disputes and every kind of daily disputes are a common reality of human species. We die, and at times we die horribly for stupid reasons.

The problem is, why the Vietnamese members with questionable mental capacity are on a trolling spree?

Turkey:
Land dispute in Birecik leaves 2 dead, 1 injured

Vietnam:
Vietnamese Farm Owner in Shooting Spree Over Compensation Dispute

India:
Deadly land dispute in northeast India

US:
Nevada Rancher Warns Land Dispute With BLM 'Could Turn Into' Next Waco

Brazil:
Over two dozen Brazilian Indians died in land disputes last year.

Hence, I kindly request Mr @Hu Songshan to clear the forum from unrelated news and comments by certain members who are concerned with nothing but slander and lies.

All of the above (Turkey, USA, India, Brazil) are democracies except Vietnam

And HK is a lot more democractic than Vietnam. So our Vietnamese members here who are having the yellow avatars of "Support Occupy Central" movement are actually supporting any chaos in HK and China.

Go to hell with your support for HK/China democracy please!

Exactly, because disputes have very little to do with the national regime but with the question of good governance. Good governance is not necessarily attached to elections, since elections might produce the worst kind of fascism and other sophisticated oppression methods.

China does have room for improvement, no denial on that.

It is also a common knowledge that a country with an explosive growth is expected to have more disputes (conflicts of interest) than, say, a developed and stable/stagnant (in a good sense) society like Japan or a non-industrial agrarian country like Vietnam .

The mentally-challenged Vietnamese here attempt to paint the dispute as a "regime" issue in a hope of changing the discourse to their own liking -- especially at this time when their blood is running hot due to protests in HK.

There is obvious double-standard here; if a similar event occurs in another country, the global media, if ever, will present it as a local matter. But, for some miraculous reason, the death of six people in 1.4 billion China becomes suddenly a regime issue.

Since Vietnamese concern Chinese affairs，We welcome the news of multiple,After all, is not convenient to do some things ourselves.
Welcome to help Chinese anti-corruption!

21 Arrested Over Deadly Land Clash in Yunnan
After a deadly clash that arose out of a months running land dispute in Jinning, Yunnan Province earlier this month—in which nine died, several of whom were reportedly construction workers that were tied up, doused with gasoline, and burned by villagers—21 have been arrested by local authorities. The New York Times reports:

Those arrested included six employees of a construction firm and 15 local residents, the Kunming city government said on Tuesday. The announcement added that the death toll had climbed from eight to nine after one severely injured worker died in a local hospital.

A long-running conflict between residents of Jinning County, a semirural area under the administration of Kunming, the capital of the southwestern province of Yunnan, exploded into large-scale violence on Oct. 14. Hundreds of workers dressed in auxiliary police uniforms and carrying shields, tear gas and other anti-riot gear were sent to the village of Fuyou in Jinning County in an effort to intimidate residents and force them to drop their resistance to the construction of a logistics hub for manufactured goods.

[...] The villagers had sought better compensation for giving up their land for the project and had complained about the flooding of vegetable fields as a result of the construction. They had blocked construction work since May, with violence between the two sides flaring over the summer. The Oct. 14 riot exploded as developers pushed to resume work on the project, the Kunming government said.

While disputes between villagers and/or farmers seeking proper compensation and developers are a major cause of unrest in rural China, the Jinning clash was exceptionally violent and deadly. Last year, Beijing identified rural land use reform as a major policy goal.
