A single building stands untouched in the middle of a construction site after the owner rejected the developer's offer, who continued with the scheduled construction around it, in China's southwestern city of Chongqing, Tuesday 13 March 2007. China's parliament overwhelmingly approved a landmark property law Friday 16 March 2007, which stipulates that 'the property of the state, the collective, the individual and other obliges is protected by law, and no units or individuals may infringe upon it.'
