【广西钦州村民堵收费站，抗议政府乱收费与警察对峙】8月1日，广西钦州市钦南区久隆镇村民发起抗议，堵塞国道G325上的久隆收费站，抗议地方政府违规乱收费以及堵塞村道，并与大批警察对峙。
当天晚上，迫于压力，当地政府拆除了堵塞在村道上的水泥墩。
村民表示，久隆收费站早在2024年就已超过收费年限，按规定应当撤除，但当地政府为了敛财，仍强行收费，甚至用水泥墩封死村道，阻止村民绕行。
2009年起，中国取消了国道收费政策，但自去年起，多地政府借口“运营维护”，重启了国道收费。
今年4月12日，村民曾因同样原因围堵了久隆收费站，迫使其暂停收费，但仅过了两天便再度开始收费。
[Guangxi Villagers Block Toll Station, Confront Police Over Illegal Fees]
On August 1, villagers in Jiulong Town, Qinzhou City, Guangxi, launched a protest by blocking the Jiulong toll station on National Highway G325. They accused the local government of illegally continuing to charge tolls past the expiration date and of blocking village roads. The protest escalated into a standoff with a large number of police officers.
That evening, under mounting pressure, the local authorities removed the concrete barriers that had been used to block the village road.
According to villagers, the Jiulong toll station’s authorized charging period expired in 2024, and it should have been dismantled according to regulations. However, the local government, motivated by profit, continued to enforce toll collection and even blocked alternate village routes with concrete barricades to prevent locals from bypassing the station.
China officially abolished tolls on national highways in 2009, but since last year, many local governments have resumed toll collection under the pretext of “maintenance and operations.”
On April 12 of this year, villagers had already staged a similar protest at the Jiulong toll station, forcing it to temporarily suspend toll collection. However, the tolls resumed just two days later.
