Call me a wowser but I far prefer a country whose big government employment program is building housing and not building armies that are ten times the size of all the largest other armies combined.
That's a nation with a very big unused hammer adventuring around the world looking for a nail.

So if you build something that is empty for 15 years, it was useless for half its lifetime, and that is if it was even being maintained while basically derelict; it is highly likely that when the building is actually needed, they will tear it down and start over again. China will eventually move to a high skilled labor force and these problems will go away. But that is not today.
