Howard French reports on the so-called “nail house,” whose owner refuses to relocate, in today’s New York Times. And, as Virtual China points out, the “nail house” story is gaining traction on the English Internet as well, after several days as a top story in Chinese cyberspace. Peering into the Interior blog has translated an interview with the house owner, and Global Voices blogged a lengthy post which includes translations of comments on Chinese BBS sites. China Rises blog has also posted on the topic. For more on the story via CDT, click here. See more posts on the “nail house” from the blogosphere.
