It was chosen, along with 15 other areas in the Daxing district of Beijing, to be walled off to outsiders, in what officials say is an experimental effort to curb crime. The authorities say the experiment has been a success — the Communist Party-run People’s Daily said the crime rate in the walled villages in Daxing district dropped by 73 percent from April to July this year — and the “walled village” concept is being quickly expanded to other districts outside Beijing’s center that are populated by migrant workers. en November 19, 2017 Chris Buckley Fire Kills at Least 19 in Beijing Apartment Building https://web.archive.org/web/20171119130124/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/19/world/asia/china-fire-beijing.html 19 November 2017 Asia Pacific The fire broke out Saturday evening in a two-story structure in the Daxing District, about 11 miles south of the Chinese capital’s prosperous downtown.
