Isn't the land underneath the house never owned by the person, always the state? So while they may "own" the structure, it's always in doubt of whether they will be able to lease the land again after the current lease expires.
Yeah the us would never force anyone off of land.
Every government does, that's no "gotcha".
The US did and does it.
China did it with 1.3 million people to build a dam.
Russia is doing it in Ukraine.
There's a genocide in Sudan.
Doesn't make it any of the instances right.
Human Rights Watch? Seriously? Do you look into your sources at all, or are you just happy to spread imperial apologia?
Wikipedia is a terrible source for current affairs.
Your attempts to smear the three gorges dam project are part of a tradition older than the Internet. Of course, the human rights watch was all over that propaganda.
