A villager in northern China attempting to resist a forced government relocation by remaining on his land was brutally crushed to death by a road flattening truck on the orders of a Chinese government official.
The victim, He Zhi Hua, refused to accept a paltry payment from the government which has forcefully evicted Changsha Village locals in order to re-appropriate their land for commercial use.

Chinese officials have never shown a shred of compassion or human decency to their own citizens when it comes to official state-sponsored business needs.
"... The property of subjects is under the eminent domain of the state, so that the state or he who acts for it may use and even alienate and destroy such property, not only in the case of extreme necessity, in which even private persons have a right over the property of others, but for ends of public utility, to which ends those who founded civil society must be supposed to have intended that private ends should give way. But it is to be added that when this is done the state is bound to make good the loss to those who lose their property."
The only difference between what china does and most of the .govs of the western world is simple, the chinese are honest about it, western leaders lie.
Chinese leaders- yes we killed a man with a steam roller he should have done as ordered and moved.
