The link in that tweet leads to an article: U.S. ambassador on why China competition must be managed while keeping "the peace"

Did you click the tweet or did just spend thirty minutes looking for a source to support the "ghost cities" claim, then rush to paste it here without looking that closely at it?



But you don't like that one, though it did talk about massive insolvency in the real estate. Here's another from 2022:

It's not that I "don't like that one" - it was a tweet containing a headline that looked like it linked to an article about Ghost Cities but actually linked to something else entirely, and you didn't realise because you didn't open it. Maybe it hinted at other problems in China, I am certain there are many problems there! But you wanted to make a point about ghost cities, and this article didn't make that point.

And this next one you've sent me is just someone writing a "hey have y'all heard about those 'Ghost Cities' in China?" article. You might as well have just linked to your prior comment saying "google ghost cities china".


Central planning did create ghost cities that persisted for years, and that is extremely inefficient, which is my point.
