「四川南充：数百业主围警车堵公路，抗议开发商强售车位遭警察殴打（2025.07.08）」周二晚间，四川南充市嘉陵区白鹭洲二期小区爆发了业主抗议活动。数百名业主因与物业及开发商的激烈矛盾，围堵警车并阻塞了公路交通。

事件的导火索是开发商出于强行出售高价且无产权的车位的目的，而收取业主高价停车费。据业主透露，近期，开发商为逼迫业主购买车位，授意物业公司收取每日9元的高额停车费。更为过分的是，开发商被指在售房时存在虚假宣传，承诺赠送价值3万元的车位券，但在实际销售时，使用该券后业主仍需支付与正常购买价相差无几的款项，使得车位券形同废纸。有业主指出，一个车位售价高达六万元，且整个停车场并无合法产权，根本无法进行买卖。

面对开发商的欺诈行为和物业的强硬收费，业主们拒绝缴纳停车费。7月7日，由于小区物业拒绝未缴费的业主进入小区，业主们便堵塞小区大门以示抗议。7月8日，双方对峙升级为肢体冲突。一名业主在冲突中被据称从白鹭洲一期调来的物业人员打倒在地。事后，打人者躲入一辆警车，并拒绝支付受伤业主的医药费用。

这一行为彻底点燃了在场业主的怒火，数百人围住警车和公路，要求打人者下车承担责任。最终，事件以警察使用暴力驱散抗议人群告终，据称有多名业主在驱散过程中遭到殴打。

“Nanchong, Sichuan: Hundreds of Homeowners Surround Police Car and Block Road to Protest Forced Parking Space Sales, Beaten by Police (2025.07.08)”

On Tuesday evening, a homeowner protest erupted in the Egret Island Phase II residential compound in Jialing District, Nanchong, Sichuan Province. Hundreds of residents, angered by escalating tensions with the property management and developer, surrounded a police vehicle and blocked road traffic.

The immediate trigger for the protest was the developer’s attempt to forcibly sell expensive parking spaces that lack legal ownership certificates, while imposing high parking fees. According to residents, in recent weeks, the developer instructed the property management company to charge an excessive daily parking fee of 9 yuan to coerce homeowners into buying the spaces. Making matters worse, the developer was accused of false advertising during home sales—promising a complimentary 30,000 yuan parking voucher that, in practice, only marginally reduced the purchase price, rendering it virtually worthless. Some residents noted that a single parking spot costs up to 60,000 yuan, and since the entire parking lot lacks legal property rights, it cannot be legitimately sold.

In response to this alleged fraud and the property company’s hardline tactics, many homeowners refused to pay the parking fees. On July 7, when the management barred those who hadn’t paid from entering the complex, residents blocked the entrance in protest. Tensions escalated on July 8 into physical confrontation. One resident was reportedly knocked to the ground by staff allegedly brought in from Egret Island Phase I. After the assault, the perpetrator hid in a police vehicle and refused to cover the victim’s medical expenses.

This act ignited widespread outrage among the homeowners. Hundreds surrounded the police vehicle and blocked the road, demanding that the assailant be held accountable. The standoff ultimately ended with police forcibly dispersing the crowd, during which several residents were reportedly beaten.

On July 7, outside the Henan Provincial Petition Bureau, interceptors pulled and dragged an elderly petitioner with mobility issues in an attempt to stop them from entering the bureau.

The company claimed that workers could freely choose whether to relocate or stay and continue working in the 3D department in Shenzhen.

However, according to workers, those unwilling to relocate were being pressured to quit by being assigned low-paying “five-day, eight-hour” shifts—part of a strategy to force voluntary resignations and evade legally mandated compensation. The strike remains ongoing.

「河南郑州：上百驻地网承包商抗议国企公然抢劫民营资产，遭警察镇压（2025.07.07）」本周一，上百名来自河南各地的“驻地网”承包商聚集在中国电信河南分公司门前，抗议该公司一项被指为“变相掠夺”的新政策。抗议者称，河南电信试图通过一纸新合约，无偿占有他们多年来投资建设的网络资产。这场维权行动最终遭到警察镇压，多名抗议者遭到警察殴打。 据多名承包商透露，过去十余年间，为了迅速抢占宽带市场，中国电信等国有运营商在河南省广泛推行“驻地网”合作模式。该模式由民营承包商自筹资金，负责铺设和维护乡镇、社区等区域的“最后一公里”网络线路及设备。作为回报，电信公司则根据民营承包商发展的用户数量，向其支付“端口费”作为租赁与服务费用。这一模式曾被视为是国企与民资合作共赢的典范。 然而，河南电信于今年强行终止了此前的合作模式，并推出了名为“店包乡”的新合作方案。根据新方案，河南电信将全面回收所有驻地网资产，而原承包商则需重新签订一份极为严苛的合同。新合同不仅要求承包商继续负责网络的安装和维护工作，还需向电信公司缴纳管理费，并强制要求配备至少三名全职员工。 更令承包商无法接受的是，新合同中加入了“用户净增长连续三月为负，则无条件终止合同”等霸王条款。他们认为，这不仅剥夺了他们对投入巨资建立的网络资产的所有权和收益权，还将所有市场风险转嫁给了他们。 承包商认为，由于5G网络建设投入巨大，而传统宽带业务的利润增长日趋饱和，电信运营商面临着巨大的经营压力。为缓解压力，电信运营商将这些由民营资本建立、已经成熟的末端网络强行收归国有，无疑是最为直接和快速的手段。但这种利用其市场垄断地位，强行压价回收资产的行为，是在“公然抢劫”。
