The gap between the rich and the poor widens in China

[lootster]

Gated villages in China have always been symbols of affluence; spaces where the rich protected themselves from criminals and other undesirables.

But now the poor in Beijing are being locked inside their neighbourhoods at night, between 11pm and dawn.

Chinese officials call the project "sealed management" and claim the measure helps reduce crime.

Al Jazeera's Melissa Chan reports from Beijing.

hi lootster,

Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting but so sad.
It's painful to be poor, but living in a prosperous city.
