‘We got Chinese killdozer before GTA 6’: Man drives excavator into Chinese government building, damages multiple structures

In a viral video circulating online, a man in mainland China can be seen driving an excavator outside a government service centre in Shaanxi province and damaging parts of it. The dramatic scene took place due to an alleged dispute over unpaid villagers’ compensation, Al Jazeera reported. The footage highlights the vehicle creating significant damage to the entrance of the complex and surrounding structures while people watch from both in and outside the building.

The incident took place on November 9 at the Fengdong New City Government Service Centre in Xixian New Area, Shaanxi. The excavator was used to damage the building's entrance canopy, steps and other structures. The incident reportedly continued for around an hour, prompting an emergency response.

What happened in the viral excavator video?

The footage shows a yellow excavator positioned in front of the government complex, with its mechanical arm extending towards the building's entrance. Debris and damaged sections are visible around the premises, while several people stand in the open plaza watching the unfolding situation.


As the video circulates online, viewers have been particularly struck by the unusual incident. One commenter joked, "We got Chinese killdozer before GTA 6", drawing a comparison with the infamous Killdozer incident and the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI. Another wrote, "The villagers voice is heard now. The guy is the sacrifice!"

Authorities have not officially confirmed the motive behind the destructive move, and the circumstances remain under investigation.

According to a statement released by Xixian New Area Public Security Bureau, the agency received a report of someone using construction equipment to damage the government service centre at around 11 am.

Police identified the suspect as a 47-year-old man surnamed Hu and said he had been placed under criminal coercive measures. Importantly, no injuries were reported, and the service centre resumed normal operations later that afternoon.
