I’m starting to believe this is a bad faith argument. Do you have anything addressing the specific point of ghost cities actually (not) being populated now?

For those that are too lazy to read:

  • link 1: 39 buildings demolished for illegal construction
  • link 2: 50 second clip of 7 buildings that were never finished being demolished (no context, other than the buildings being there for some years)
  • link 3: luxury mansion development stalls due to missmangement/lack of funding, leaving people that paid for those homes without a property

https://youtube.com/watch?v=UPwtUTrwKRI wasted time and resources because everything is shortsighted and mostly affect the buyers.

How could they?

  • Unfinished buildings.
  • Housing market collapsing.
  • Everything on build on ponzi scheme.
  • Youth Unemployment has never been higher.
  • Biggest real estate players are in huge debt.

No one is arguing any of the points above. But to quote the Wikipedia article:

While many developments failed to live up to initial lofty promises, most of them eventually became occupied when given enough time.[6][16]

Citation 16 is a Bloomberg article from 2 years ago in case you’re wondering.

Put yourself in my shoes, I can’t exactly propose edits to that statement based on a single youtube video of a ghost town existing.

Your conclusion ("How could they? ") does not follow from your premises, much as I agree with them.

China is all about face. Anything putting them in a bad light gets censored or spin to something else.

Xi Jinping eradicated poverty in China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_China There is no way, I could show video and pictures poor Chinese people. But can I find the numbers to prove it? Nah

Here is an example of data being censored https://youtube.com/watch?v=uA7VK5CbS8k

I’m sorry I can’t directly link you something 😭
