The Chinese feed their people misinformation and fear. Just like they do in this article.
China has huge ghost towns built just to increase their economy. They have replicas of cities like Paris and other famous places that nobody lives in.
How strange. They also exist in my head too whenever I go to sleep.
Truespeak: The main reason why the Tianducheng tourist resort (aka Chinese Ghost Paris) does not contain visitors is that it is not finished yet.
They have towns that can hold hundreds of thousands of people but only about 30,000 people live in them, or they're just empty. It was a documentary in vice, it was pretty weird.
I think they do this to stimulate their economy. They build things that would never be used to their capacity to provide jobs to their people. These people who work on these projects spend money thinking that they are better off then they really are.
