A denial of petitioner's application for asylum, which was based upon his alleged persecution for resisting a coercive population control program in China, is reversed and remanded where petitioner's actions in attempting to prevent birth control officials from confiscating and destroying family property satisfied the "other resistance" category set forth in 8 U.S.C. section 1101(a)(42)(B).
