Not only wiped out a lot of generational homes but told the people living there to just get out.
@weebs I wish it was just in my mind but I stood in tiananmen square across from the historic area that was torn down to build the Olympic village with two CHINESE historians and they told me about what was really happening to the displaced people and the slums and tiny "apartments" they were being forced into. They took me to one of the structures that was to be torn down, it was where ghengis khan had once occupied.
