What a waste of time,money, and resources
China has ghost cities with empty apartment buildings. They have tons of resources to waste.
Tell me you’re living half a decade in the past without telling me. “Ghost cities” are actually areas where the state preplanned urbanization so everything would be in place when people started moving in. In fact, most of these “ghost cities” are actually populated now.

Edit: could someone please explain why I’m being downvoted? I’ve provided a source to back up my statements. Or is this a case of “everything about China is bad because Red Scare”?
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
Under-occupied developments in China were mostly unoccupied property developments in China, and frequently referred to as "ghost cities" or ghost towns. The phenomenon was observed and recorded as early as 2006 by writer Wade Shepard, and subsequently reported by news media over the decades. Although a feature of discourse on the Chinese economy and urbanization in China in the 2010s, formerly under-occupied developments have largely filled up.
There’s another side to this. “Pre-planning” without proper forecast led to the housing crisis we are seeing today in China, with one of the largest developers in China Evergrande defaulting and filing for bankruptcy. A lot of people who were promised a good property and sunk their life savings into the project, now have no choice but to live in unfinished buildings in ghost towns without electricity nor water.

Because you believe China’s propaganda
I don’t blame you, Wikipedia sources are fairly old and everyone can add/remove stuff.
Recommend more sources after 2020

I stated a fact and you bent over backwards trying to prove anyone who agreed with me was wrong.
Ghost cities are real. It wasn’t a ‘everything about China is bad’ comment like you whined so that’s why you’re getting downvoted.
Why get all defensive anyway? Is someone paying you to defend China from any criticism? You come across like you’re simping for China.
Do you get upset when people talk about winnie the poo?
