They get away with all kinds of abnormal activity because most of their citizens are still poor. Once people have resources they won't bend over as they once did. I doubt their rate of progress will continue as it did over the last 2 decades. Things are going to get more complex for them not less.

Nowadays it’s a big deal for the local officials if something went wrong (eg someone injures) during the development process so they normally will negotiate

- whoevercares 7y agoNope I know, around 2010 my grandma’s sister insisted not moving out until she got paid another half million dollars (yes USD) and no official/police dared to move this old lady. Of course she got another group of old grandma and grandpas whose health condition aren’t so well and it’s Beijing It’s called “nail resident” in China. Such story is quite common and unless you are alone force removal isn’t implemented that often. Honestly just call grandpa and let him rest in bed, nobody dares move him
