没有强拆就没有新中国 (méi yǒu qiáng chāi jiù méi yǒu xīn zhōng guó): Without forced demolitions there can be no new China.

Forced demolitions in China are one of the major causes of social instability and anger at the government. These incidents often lead to violence when demolition crews or hired thugs clash with local residents.

One such incident occurred in Yihuang County in Jiangxi. To protest the forced demolition of their home, Ye Zhongcheng and two members of his family ignited themselves with gasoline.

Similar incidents have occurred. According to the Shanghai Daily:

On November 13, 2009, a 47-year-old woman, Tang Fuzhen, in southwest China's Sichuan Province, set herself on fire to protest the forced demolition of her house. She died in hospital 16 days later.

This March, a 92-year-old man and his 69-year-old son from Jiangsu Province torched themselves for the same reason. The son died.

In Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, 57-year-old Li Bingfeng is still waiting in her building - with eight bottles of gasoline. On the building there were banners with a statement Premier Wen Jiabao: “All the things we do are aimed at letting people live more happily and with more dignity."
