About 30 residents protested in front of the China Central Television (CCTV) building yesterday, demanding higher compensation for being forced out of their homes in order for CCTV to create a public green space at its new headquarters.
The residents gathered near the futuristic CCTV building around 8:35 am, putting up posters calling for more compensation and protesting their "forced relocation" by China's largest state broadcaster.
Police officers eventually persuaded the protestors to put away their signs by 9:30 am.
