Improper stipulations

Rule by law means that no one is above the law, not even governments.

The city of Shenzhen in South China has just withdrawn controversial stipulations by its municipal bureau of housing and construction whereby rural migrant workers were forbidden from visiting the government in groups to claim their wages in arrears or they would face charges if there were "serious consequences".

The stipulations were intended to create a harmonious environment for the summer Universiad the city will host in September. But the local government has announced that it will reword the measures that contained misexpressions.
