Having completed their cities, China is destroying the city tenement homes of workers from the rural countryside leaving them no option but to return to the farm - no longer having any place to live in the city apart from living on the street homeless. And who is doing the demolition work? The remaining Peasants from rural China of course before they too return to the rural Back of Bourke regions of China.
