Yingting reminds you:

When faced with demolition, some demolished people took drastic measures to resist demolition and were even punished by law for certain criminal charges. This is unwise! When facing demolition, you should stay awake and avoid physical confrontation with the demolition personnel, and do not make verbal attacks. Protect the personal safety of yourself and your family. You can symbolically express your disagreement with the forced demolition and make audio and video recordings as evidence. Administrative reconsideration can be filed within 60 days from the date of making the expropriation decision, compensation plan, or forced demolition, and administrative litigation can be filed within 6 months. Don’t miss the statute of limitations through petitions, reports, etc.
