China has amended their constitution to ensure that private property can not be violated by the state. Anyone who still thought that they are Commies better rethink. In fact, the Chinese constitution is MORE liberal and owner-friendly than the EU-constitution...
Alas, even the US constitution has no specific gaurantee of the inviolability of private property that I know of.
Well, China is then ahead of you now.
The EU-constitution basically says that private property can not be violated unless it's required for the common good. Which S-U-C-K-S.
