A Google search for Chinese-language references to chengguan produces literally millions of entries for “chengguan beat people” (城管打人).
Public resentment of chengguan abuses and the apparent impunity these forces enjoy have fueled a number of violent protests in cities across China. Chengguan have been implicated in abusive forced evictions of residents from their homes at a time of what one Chinese human rights organization has described as a “pandemic of illegal demolition.” Chinese journalists who attempt to report onchengguan abuses have also been targeted with illegal detention and physical violence.
One of most pathetic things in China is this kind of power abuse. Power is the status symbol for those people. Shame !
