It was late afternoon in a second-hand electronics and auto parts market in Xiasha district http://www.cheapmlbastrosshop.com/Jose-Cruz/ , Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, and He Hong (pseudonym), a shop owner, disenchanted by the days' slack business, decided to close his shop early.

The market is shrouded in gloom not just because of the ongoing economic downturn, but also the fact that the land which the market is built on belongs to the Chinese military, whose commercial activities are now undergoing reform. Rumors have been spreading among He and other tenants that the military might want to end the market's lease and take the land back soon.
