looking for answers on why China built so many ghost cities

why

a sham

this programme is a sham zheng zhou is a city of several million people - just check it out on google maps / earth and you will see you have been had This type of disinformation should be exposed as the lazy and fraudulent journalism it is.

Crazy

Sustainability without growth... human beings are insane.

Chinese shills

Funny how most of the comments on here trying to discredit the article are from paid Chinese govt shills. China has a massive propaganda arm that are EMPLOYED to stalk the internet posting Pro-China comments on most of the major media outlets. Many of you may not be aware of this but its fairly well known these days.

Not a hoax after all.

With so many empty flats there should be no person in China who is homeless. IS it all about economy or does China have an agenda that we are not able to recognise.

Eye-opening report

This was a phenomenal, eye-opening report. The video became 'viral' among my friends because--although we all felt 'educated' about current Chinese economic events--none of us had seen footage of these cities. I have also heard that there are many new ghost cities along unused train lines in Spain.

The Great Chinese implosion

Well ... in a not so distant future we will see what happens wont we... rotting infrastructure do not sell ... they should have just invested their money of the one great resource they have... people.

swat?

this is a disgrace....move the swatters in as they at least will serve some use
