2025 demolition threatens Hong Kong's Cha Kwo Ling village for public housing development.

Residents of Hong Kong's Cha Kwo Ling village, one of the last squatter settlements, face imminent demolition by 2025 for public housing development. The village, rich in history and culture, has been home to 860 households, including 72-year-old Lo Yuet-ping. Originally settled by the Hakka people, the area has evolved with Hong Kong's transformation. While public housing was framed as aid, political factors also influenced the resettlement policies.
