Demolition ends China house row - Update

The home of a Chinese family who defied property developers in a high-profile campaign has finally been demolished.



The family of Wu Ping gave up defending their Chongqing house after reportedly reaching a deal with the authorities.



The dispute became a cause celebre for ordinary Chinese people who have tried to fight property developers.

But the struggle came to an end on Tuesday, when a few dozen people looked on as the two-storey brick building was broken up by an earth mover.
