      This is not eminent domain.

      An example of eminent domain would be the local government partnering with a judge to order the person to accept an offer on the land and home. That doesn’t mean that the offer is acceptable to the homeowner. It means that an offer was made that was accepted.

      If the homeowner doesn’t accept, he is basically removed for trespassing, handed a check, and told to leave. There are specifics in the US, which are obviously different than China.

      Could you explain how? They did not take his land, even after several offers, and instead built around it. Eminent domain they would just take the land, say this is what you’re getting, get lost.
