And the US? Try not paying property taxes on the land you "own" for a while and see how much you own that land compared to the government.

In China, the government can do the same to your house/land even if you pay all your "dues" timely.

As you can in China I'd advise looking into nail houses where you can delay them so long that you don't even have to give up your house/land. Most people just choose not to given the new accomodation is generally better/more modern alongside a payout.
