[People News] The annual expenditure by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on maintaining stability surpasses its military spending, highlighting that the CCP views the Chinese populace as its most dangerous adversary. The CCP's tyrannical governance, which neglects the rights of citizens and arbitrarily damages their property and personal safety, has led to widespread public outrage. This discontent has fostered a growing anti-communist sentiment among the people, resulting in numerous group protests across various regions.

According to a report by Xintouke, prominent anti-communist internet personality and writer Li Ying (Li Ying), who lives in Italy, recently tweeted that on August 14, the Huangling Town government in Fengqiu, Henan, forcibly demolished a poverty alleviation site in Dongkongtang without any law enforcement credentials. The scene saw a large number of individuals dressed in red as 'volunteers' clashing physically with local residents protesting the demolition. Footage reveals the government engaging in illegal demolitions and assaults, which have sparked public outrage.

The Twitter account 'Yesterday' recently accused the Guizhou government of mobilising over 300 individuals to forcibly demolish the Miao village of Chengjiang in Xingren Town, Danzhai County, Guizhou Province, under the guise of 'national development.' Several Miao residents were reportedly taken away during this operation. The incident stems from a water conservancy project included in the 'State Council's initiative to promote the development of western Guizhou,' which has set alarmingly low compensation standards for the residents of Chengjiang village facing forced relocation. The compensation offered is inadequate to support the villagers' resettlement elsewhere. Consequently, the villagers attempted to voice their concerns by refusing to sign the relocation agreements and seeking refuge, but their pleas went unheard. On August 12, a large group of demolition personnel, dressed in plain clothes and wearing straw hats, entered the village, accompanied by many unidentified individuals. During the demolition, several villagers were suppressed and even taken away in vans, leading to multiple injuries, which was shocking to witness.

One villager lamented, 'Forced demolition without a compensation agreement is akin to robbery! Law enforcement without uniforms is chaos!' Ultimately, the villagers were powerless to halt the demolition, and bulldozers reduced their homes, where they had lived for generations, to rubble. This project, which purports to enhance livelihoods, has instead turned the local Miao community into the most tragic victims.

According to reports from The Epoch Times, there was a recent violent clash between villagers in Huada Village, Baiqi Town, Yongning District, Nanning City, Guangxi, and riot police, resulting in over ten villagers being injured and hospitalised. The conflict arose when the local government forcibly requisitioned land to construct wind power poles without the villagers' consent, with three sites located less than 300 meters from the villagers' homesteads, raising concerns about noise pollution.

The incident took place on July 24, when, around 7 a.m., the local government deployed approximately forty to fifty construction workers and riot police to cut down trees on the mountain in the village. Upon learning of this, a dozen villagers rushed to the scene to prevent the work from starting, resulting in a confrontation between the two sides. An elderly person was injured during the dispute, and the villagers were outraged upon hearing the news. By the afternoon, a large number of villagers had gathered to obstruct the work, leading to a significant conflict. The villagers were unarmed, while the opposing side was equipped with batons and shields. During the clash, tear gas was also deployed against the villagers, leaving many injured and bloodied. In total, 15 villagers were hospitalised due to their injuries, and it remains uncertain whether the local government will agree to cover their medical expenses.

Villagers reported that they called the police at the scene, but their calls for help were completely ignored. Following the conflict, some villagers attempted to file complaints with various levels of government, but they were intercepted by the police along the way. As of now, the incident involving the injured villagers has not been addressed. Villager Mr. Li informed Epoch Times reporters that the villagers plan to travel to Beijing to file complaints in the near future.

Mr. Li explained that the local government initiated this project in April of last year. Throughout the process, the villagers engaged in negotiations with the government, which verbally agreed to relocate the project to three alternative sites. However, this was only a verbal commitment, and construction continued at the original site. Additionally, the land acquisition for this project in the village was not publicly announced and was conducted without the villagers' consent, which is why they have been persistently seeking to protect their rights through complaints. △
