I am astonished at how unpologetically dystopian this is from the name "New Administrative Capital" to completely cashless meaning you cannot live there without being tracked by Chinese surveillance. This entire endeavor seems to be funded by China on a strangling loan. Usually HN is quick to point this out. If this was taking place in Boston or Stockholm, I can only imagine the pushback. Why double standards?
