- dmoy 9y agoThe whole ghost/empty city in China thing is not really accurate. After some period of time after construction they are occupied. For some reason Western media makes articles about the short interim period. It'd be akin to writing an article about how a new apartment building is a ghost building just because they hadn't started letting people move in yet.
- imron 9y agoThere's plenty of empty real-estate in China. Maybe not whole cities, but plenty of empty (or mostly empty) buildings that were built years ago.
- dmoy 9y agoOh yea definitely, lot of whole empty stack apartment complexes. Those are freaky to be near, especially the ones where you suspect the builder ran out of money or failed some kind of inspection and the stuff is only like 95% done and already decaying. Just not whole empty cities...
- bitL 9y agoIt's not just cities; it's also ways to do things. So one region is doing German-style operation, another one US-style, another one Italian-style etc. as close as they can reproduce it. The same for education. Then they evaluate what works where and why and adjust/spread the winner.
