In Shenzhen, the municipality has no issues expropriating land rights of 20 year lease holders.
One my coworker ran into a situation with his landlord:
1. He gets a call from his family "Police knocking on the door, they have an eviction notice"
2. Guy angrily calls the landlord
3. Landlord say WTF and rushes to the scene
4. It was later realised that his flat, that was bought and sold god knows how many times, had its lease expired, and the landlord was not even aware of him having to extend it.
5. He had to relocate his family overnight to friends and coworkers
