You know how we have a home where we live, play, and sleep? Well, some people in China also have their own houses or apartments where they live with their families. But sometimes, the government or powerful people want to use that land for other things like building new roads, bridges, shopping malls, or fancy buildings. When this happens, those people living in those houses are asked to leave or forced to leave. This is called a forced eviction.
The government or powerful people can do this because they have the power and authority to take land from people. Sometimes these people are given some money or a new place to live, but often they are not given anything at all. This can be really hard for the people who are forced to leave because they might not have anywhere else to go, and it can be very traumatic for them to lose their homes and communities.
Forced evictions are a big issue in China because many people are affected by them, and sometimes they are carried out in a violent and unfair way. It is important for governments and powerful people to treat people with respect and dignity when they are being asked to leave their homes.
