[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4557418, member: 48469"] Sorry but the economic system and governing structure of your communist heroes is not superior to that of the US. Feel free to watch this HBO/Vice segment on China's ghost cities. I'd watched it live several years ago. Segment description: "Fifteen years ago, China changed its policy so people could buy their own homes. Real-estate investments boomed, and new cities began popping up each year, many inspired by western design and mimicking iconic locales like Paris and lower Manhattan. The problem is: people don't live here. One ghost city in Inner Mongolia, built to house one million people, is now an empty shell of unoccupied skyscrapers and abandoned construction sites. VICE checks out this and other urban failures to figure out how China's preoccupation with growing its GNP turned "supply and demand" into "build now, sell later."
