Construction workers in Nanjing in southeastern China, destroyed 10 tombs dating back 1800 years – the tombs from the “six dynasties” period from AD 220 to 589. They were said to be of high quality and probably from a rich family of the time period. Under Chinese law, people or work units found destroying “ancient tombs” can be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan (about $6,600-$65,700) but the laws are weakly enforced, and the developers would rather pay the fine than delay or cancel construction projects…
Ah the virtues of capitalism in a communist society… it’s a wonder we can even do business with China…
