An especially unfriendly noticePosted by Joel Martinsen, November 17, 2008 2:39 PM
 Two hundred residents of the Xinxin Garden community in Urumqi, Xinjiang, found this noticed taped to their doors ten days ago:
The inhabitants of the neighborhood are understandably upset by this development, according to an iYaxin report that quotes someone from building management: "The entire community is apprehensive, especially the more than 200 households in buildings 3 and 4. They're staying at home night and day because they're afraid that someone take their apartment by force when they're not at home." A developer dispute apparently lies behind the threat. Xinxin Garden was built in 2001 by two property developers who later had a falling out. Links and Sources
