You missed the point, the development of the ghost city was already fully paid for and costs already fully recovered. It is different from the sub prime problem when the development was fuelled by a bubble from sub prime lending and risky security products -- money and productivity that didn't exists.

 

Having said that, mainland China does has a bigger economic and social problem of inflation and income gap balancing on thin lines.

during the interview, one statement that struck me ...

 

government must have policy to provide "basic" housing for the people who can afford

basic housing is human rights and not privilege ...

but then another comrade will come up to defend him by saying- i see my bank statement and i feel so rich. so the peasant ah tiong will have to line up at the bank just to see what statement he was referring to. [laugh][laugh]

Ever wonder how China can endlessly generate goal-seeked GDP of precisely 8.00001% year after year? Or how it can constantly find use for the massive and ever-larger surplus of warehoused commodities? Simple - never stop building. Which, apparently means blowing up empty building before they are even finished and rebuilding them. Rinse. Repeat. After all gotta keep all those construction workers from rioting, and all those USD reserves redirected into Brazilian and OZ commodities, now that China is not really buying US debt anymore. China Hush has some stunning pictures confirming that in its search of the great home bubble perpetual engine, the politbureau comrades may have stumbled onto the bricks and mortar equivalent of Shangri La. In the meantime, more on the whole "controlled demolition thing" from China Hush.

 

As one of the most architectural productive country, China aggregates 2 billion m2 of new building area every year, consuming about 40% of the world
