The video was released by msguancha.com through Boxun. It shows a suicide on July 26. A woman jumped from the building that is claimed to be "illegal" by local governemnt and died. The building was surrounded by police and workers who came to destroy the buiding when she jumped. China demolishes many buildings like this on daily basis, mainly because the officials want to develop the area for their personal benefits, then they claim the buildings "illegal". When they need the lands, officials pay little or do not pay any compensation to the farmers. Boxun editor comments in the Chinese version: the demolition of buildings is a huge waste of resources, not only to owners but to the country and human beings. The government should have not approved the construction at the beginning or intervene when the construction starts.
