「中国第二大扶贫安置区爆发大规模抗议：上千村民与警冲突围堵警车（2026.05.07）」5月7日，在中国规模第二大的跨县易地扶贫搬迁安置点——云南省昭通市鲁甸县卯家湾安置区，因街道与物业强行收取停车费，引发数以千计的村民集体抗议。抗议活动在当天升级为冲突，现场一度陷入混乱，一辆特警车被长时间围困，至少一名村民在冲突中受伤。迫于持续升级的民怨压力，地方政府最终宣布暂停相关收费。
起因
卯家湾安置区是中国“易地扶贫搬迁”政策最具代表性的项目之一，共安置来自鲁甸、巧家等五个贫困县的3.9万余名村民。官方长期将其宣传为“脱贫攻坚样板工程”，旨在将乌蒙山区高海拔、交通闭塞地区的贫困人口整体迁入城区集中安置。然而，现实生活并未如官方宣传般改善，一些村民反而陷入新的困境。来到城市后，这些原本依靠土地维生的农民，却失去了最基本的生产资料。由于缺乏稳定工作和技能，大量家庭长期只能依靠打零工、低保或临时收入维持生活。与此同时，物业费、水电费、保险、教育等城市生活成本却不断增加，一家人省吃俭用，开销一年也要15000元左右。一些村民甚至开始怀念过去的农村生活，希望返回老家。但当年的村庄和住房早已在“扶贫搬迁”“改善生活”的名义下被摧毁，他们已经失去了退路。一名村民表示：“来这里没有地可以种，好多搬来比原来更穷了，在农村至少吃喝不要钱，有地种菜种粮食，不用交物业费。”
在这样的背景下，当地社区和物业却突然宣布，今年5月起将对小区车辆收取每月360元的停车费。这一决定迅速点燃长期积累的不满情绪。对于许多本就收入微薄的搬迁户而言，这笔费用已成为难以承受的额外负担。更令村民愤怒的是，长期以来，小区房屋漏水、设施损坏等问题迟迟无人维修，物业却经常以“一些人未缴物业费”为由拒绝处理。如今在无法出示明确收费依据及主管部门正式文件的情况下，又突然加收停车费，被大量居民质疑是在“借扶贫安置区敛财”。一名村民在社交媒体上愤怒表示：“说实话我们搬家的好多吃饭都有点恼火，上有老下有小，现在工作不好找，一年开支也不少，当时不搬的时候当地政府组织人把老家房子挖，去挖房子的时候还把120叫上，现在我们搬了，如今又要收物业费，停车费，卫生费等等费用，没有一个稳定的工作怎么交，好不容易找到活干，最后还拿不到钱，一天推一天，让我们怎么过，如果真的有，我们百姓也会交。”
抗争
收费决定一经推出，随即引发多个片区村民连日抗议。5月6日，三号地块爆发了警民对峙：当局出动警察试图强行拖走抗议车辆，村民则集体站上拖车阻拦，致使行动受挫。
冲突
5月7日中午，矛盾在二号地块彻底激化。在一些村民驾车进入小区受阻后，上千名村民陆续聚集至小区大门处抗议。当局迅速调集特警到场压制，双方爆发了冲突，一名村民头部受伤出血。之后，打人警察躲进警车，愤怒的人群随即将特警车团团围住，阻止其离开。
官方让步，抗争取得初步胜利。
当日下午，面对村民的怒火，一名政府官员通过喇叭公开作出三项承诺：立即撤除物业道闸，所有车辆自由进出，并由公安副局长负责监督；即日起暂停停车费及物业费的征收工作；成立专项工作组，逐社区召开群众会议，收集生产、生活、就业及物业管理等方面的意见。之后，村民才陆续散去。
过去多年，这类项目常被官方包装为“脱贫奇迹”和政治政绩，但在实际操作中，许多搬迁居民不仅失去了土地和原有生计，也未真正获得稳定就业与社会保障。部分地方政府更是借此敛财，以物业、停车、管理等名义不断增加收费，使本就脆弱的搬迁家庭苦不堪言。
Massive Protest Erupts in China’s Second-Largest Poverty Alleviation Resettlement Zone: Thousands Clash with Police, Besiege Police Vehicle (2026.05.07)
On May 7, a massive protest involving thousands of residents broke out in the Maojiawan Resettlement Area in Ludian County, Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province—the second-largest cross-county poverty alleviation resettlement site in China. The unrest was triggered by the forced imposition of parking fees by local street authorities and property management.
The protest escalated into a violent confrontation, resulting in a chaotic scene where a SWAT vehicle was besieged for an extended period and at least one villager was injured. Under the pressure of escalating public outcry, the local government eventually announced a suspension of the fees.
The Root Cause
The Maojiawan Resettlement Area is a flagship project of China’s “Relocation from Inhospitable Areas” policy, housing over 39,000 residents from five impoverished counties, including Ludian and Qiaojia. Long touted by officials as a “model project for poverty alleviation,” it aimed to move populations from high-altitude, isolated regions of the Wumeng Mountains into centralized urban settlements.
However, reality has not lived up to the propaganda. Many farmers, who previously relied on the land, found themselves without basic means of production upon arriving in the city. Lacking stable jobs and urban skills, many families now subsist on odd jobs, social security, or temporary income. Meanwhile, the cost of living—including property fees, utilities, insurance, and education—has surged. A typical family now spends approximately 15,000 RMB per year despite living frugally.
Some villagers have expressed a desire to return to their original homes, but those villages and houses were long ago demolished under the banner of “improving lives,” leaving them with no way back. One villager remarked:
“There is no land to farm here. Many of us are poorer than before. In the countryside, at least food and drink were free; we had land for vegetables and grain and no property fees.”
In this fragile economic state, the local community and property management suddenly announced that starting in May, a monthly parking fee of 360 RMB would be charged. For households already struggling with meager incomes, this was the breaking point. Adding to the fury is the fact that property management has consistently ignored issues like leaking roofs and broken facilities, often citing “unpaid property fees” as an excuse, yet they moved forward with new charges without providing legal basis or official government documentation.
The Resistance
The announcement triggered days of protests across several sectors. On May 6, a standoff occurred in “Plot 3” when authorities sent police to forcibly tow away protesting vehicles. Villagers blocked the tow trucks by standing on them, successfully halting the operation.
The Conflict
The situation reached a breaking point at noon on May 7 in “Plot 2.” After some villagers were blocked from driving into the complex, thousands gathered at the main gate. SWAT teams were deployed to suppress the crowd, leading to a physical clash that left one villager with a bleeding head wound. The officer involved reportedly retreated into a police vehicle, which was then surrounded by the angry crowd, preventing it from leaving the scene.
Government Concession
By that afternoon, facing intense public anger, a government official made three public promises via megaphone:
- Immediate removal of property gates to allow free entry and exit for all vehicles, supervised by the Deputy Bureau Chief of Public Security.
- Immediate suspension of all parking and property fee collections.
- Formation of a special task force to hold community meetings and collect feedback on production, living conditions, employment, and property management.
Following these concessions, the crowds began to disperse.
Analysis
For years, such projects have been packaged as “poverty alleviation miracles” and political achievements. However, in practice, many relocated residents have not only lost their land and traditional livelihoods but have also failed to secure stable employment or social safety nets. In some regions, local governments and management companies have been accused of using these zones as “cash cows,” imposing various fees that push already vulnerable families to the brink.
