Forcible demolition vs. harmony

Revising or repealing the demolition regulations only would be far from enough, because the tragedies of the past two years are related with the collective-ownership of land. The real estate sector and related governing regimes, too, should be reformed to achieve harmony between power and rights at the legislative level, for which three measures should be taken immediately.

First, the existing urban demolition and management regulations should be repealed and a new law enacted. Related laws and regulations, such as those regulating the use of rural land and construction planning, too should be revised.

Second, political reform has to be intensified. There will be a lot fewer forcible demolitions if people are granted more power in nominating and supervising government officials.

Third, financial reform has to be deepened and the knot binding local governments' interests with land business has to be untied. Many officials support demolitions because they bring material benefit to their local governments.

Of course, good laws also need good executive measures to be effective. To build a harmonious society, people should respect the laws as the behavioral norms of the entire society. But on many occasions the judicial system has lost its stature as the last channel through which people seek social justice.

When policemen appear at a demolition site, not as protectors of civil rights but to help demolishers, they trample upon social justice. How can we ask ordinary citizens to respect the law, while law enforcers violate their rights?

As Xinhua News Agency has reported, one leader of the Supreme People's Council came up with some creative proposals on administrative proceedings. We welcome his new ideas, and hope proper measures would be taken soon accordingly.

Besides, some local officials need a lesson in moral discipline. Over the past few years, some officials have shamed themselves with their comments, which showed their indifference toward human life and dignity. It is extremely important and urgent to teach them the difference between good and evil.

The common thread that binds all religious, moral and social codes is being tolerant of and good to others. This holds especially true in demolition cases. Law enforcers have to be good to people and avoid setting obstacles for them.

Being good has always been an essential virtue of civilizations. This essential virtue is needed to build a harmonious society, too. Once law enforcers become essentially good, disputes and violence over demolitions would become things of the past. After all, a harmonious society has to be a society without forcible demolitions.
