血拆 (xiě chāi): bloody demolition

Forced evictions are a major source of social unrest in China. Frequently, those who feel they were not fairly compensated have forcibly resisted the demolition of their homes. There are also reports of self-immolation as a form of protest against property seizures and home demolitions. Sometimes the demolition of buildings in a particular area has been the cause of "mass incidents."
