What Happens When People In China Refuse To Sell Their Home For Redevelopment? The Answer Will Shock You
China is usually seen as a country with densely populated streets, skyscrapers rising against the horizon and technologies like robots. The country is also famous for building its way around obstacles, quite literally sometimes. A video of a ‘nail house' in the country illustrates how engineers and authorities can find a workaround for almost any situation.
A nail house or dingzihu is a home whose owners refuse to move for property redevelopment projects or accept compensation for their house's demolition from developers, The Guardian reported. This often leads to authorities building around the houses and leaving them alone. A video of one such nail house has grabbed attention on social media.
Nail House In China Grabs Attention
The clip, posted on X, shows a small house near a busy road. The building is at odds with its surroundings, which include a parking lot and massive apartment complexes.
“In China, when the owner of this house refused to move for new development, builders made the road curve around it! Homes like this are known as ‘nail houses' because they stick around no matter what!" the caption read.

In January, the owner of “Jiangxi's most stubborn nail house" regretted his decision not to sell his property and take the government compensation.
