China's Weird New Ghost Cities

For a long time now China has been building cities that just sit empty. Some say it's to keep up a false economy but if you look at these cities it seems over the top by any standards. It is downright bizarre! So what's REALLY behind all this building?

I have seen this and other videos for months now and still can't fully understand what the Chinese are doing here. Opinions anyone?

If you build it ...

They will come.

The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

...

Pyramids? Really!

"Essentially the modern equivalent of building pyramids. It doesn't add to the betterment of peoples lives." This guy doesn't know anything about the pyramids. The Egyptians didn't build impossible strutctures to stimulate their economy.

Yep.

They built pyramids to inflate their image.

I believe in the freedom to be what we choose to be.

The Pyramid Code

The Pyramid Code is a must watch. Our education system is lying to us about the real history of Egypt.

Just like you don't know why

Just like you don't know why the Pyramids were built (or how), you don't know anything about economics or politics. In fact, you're just a dumb sheep.

To prove this I will ask you a simple question. Do you believe the official story of 911 or do you believe it was a false flag attack?

believe it or not, China is not a monolith

It's a nation with the geographic size and resources of the USA. Cold in the north, warm in the south. From sea to shining sea (well, mountains on the west side, but still. Ocean on the south, the USA can't really claim that west of Texas)

Ok, so how does this apply to this question. Some areas of China have an excess of money, some with insufficient.

The areas near Outer Mongolia have far more money than they do "life". Not only is it a sausage fest, it is void of any life or culture whatsoever or downtown area. Just a bunch of mining going on and money.

Ok, so the miners can build themselves a nice house and they do but still that does not result in any life or culture in the area. Watching Netflix and playing PS3 eventually does get old.

How do you get life or culture?

Well they took a shot and built a new downtown area from scratch. Again they could afford it. Considering the high population of China and overcrowding in other cities, they were hoping that a million people would move in and make living in the desert desirable.

Well only about 30,000 or so ended up moving in but still that is 30,000 more than before.

What else is a hard working miner to do on the weekend?

Contrary to popular belief, not every dollar is taken by it's central gov and redistributed. Sure it's communist but are we really much different these days?

I would think of that more of a central intention more than anything else. End result right on the ground in every corner of the country is another thing entirely.

Did You WATCH The Video

before commenting?

skippy

I get my information from better sources than that stupid video.

You are a TV drone that gets all his information from Fox News and CNN. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey if it's on TV it must be true right? You can totally trust reporters. lmao

They should name these towns "Krugmans Opus".

according to the WebBot Project

brainchild of a guy named Clif High, the ghost cities are in preparation for an impending coastal event that will cause a rise in sea levels and wipe out alot of coastal cities. The ghost cities are all inland.

You can hear him on YouTube, search for Clif High Webbot.

Webbots are bullsh*t, everything they said failed & they spin it

Remember back in October of like 2007 there was supposed to be an event where America would collapse and be flooded.

I agree with this. However, it may also involve multiple...

cometary collisions, which, in prehistoric times, created so many bodies of water in Carolina and,I believe, Minnesota.

They have these ghost cities in North Korea also.

I remember seeing it on some television documentary a few years ago. They were kept in pristine condition from what I remember. There were a number of reasons why they were empty not the least of which was sanctions that make tourism impossible. As far as these Chinese cities I have no idea.
