BEIJING — Chinese media say a woman upset over the compensation she was offered for losing her home blew up explosives strapped to her body, killing herself and two other people.
The official Xinhua News Agency says another 14 people were wounded by the explosion Thursday in Zhaotong city in the southwestern province of Yunnan. It did not identify the woman.
Forced relocations are common in China as local governments raise money by selling land for new development. Residents are not always compensated or are given very little.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
