Guangdong province grants rights of angary to local governments to take private properties for use in epidemic

PRC's Standing Committee of Guangdong People’s Congress called for an emergency meeting, and immediately authorised the municipal governments of Guanagzhou and Shenzhen to, when deemed necessary, take housing, facilities, goods, etc., for use in emergency epidemic responses according to laws.

This is the first time since the Open Reform of China and also since the Property Rights Laws of 2007 that the government was granted the rights of angary.

The Standing Committee of Guangdong People’s Congress called for an emergency meeting in the morning, and passed Standing Committee of Guangdong People’s Congress on Decisions about Controlling the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic according to Full Force of Laws.

Municipal and district governments, as well as command centres of works related to controlling the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic, are empowered to, according to the needs of controlling the epidemic, implement emergency administrative measures or announce decisions on medical and public health, capital security, transportations, market management, wild life management, and other areas.

They can temporarily take housing units or private houses, venues, transportation vehicles, and related facilities, for use in epidemic control. They can also compel relevant firms and organisations to provide epidemic control goods and commodities of life.
