RE: The Rapidly Changing Face of Urban China

in #photography8 years ago

The crazy destruction and contruction and abandonment ... fascinating cycle.
Found this to try to understand it more.
China's 'ghost cities': A fever of destruction, construction and abandonment
"It should be interesting when it all comes crashing down. China’s double digit growth days are numbered. China most likely will send the world’s economy plummetting along with it."

Sort:  

Honestly, I don't see it coming down anytime soon. People have jobs. People are working. People have shiny new places to go spend money at. And that money helps pay the salaries at the people at the shiny new places. Remember, demolition crews employ people as do construction ones. More people employed means more people are paying taxes. More people paying taxes means the government has more money to do international investment projects in places like Africa and central asia with stuff like the silk road initiative. Meanwhile, in America, we can't even agree that crumbling 100 year old bridge that structurally deficient should be torn down. OMG! That costs too much!

China is the New America. lol

China wants to be what America used to be. Seriously.

But, I feel that thought will not comport with the Alt Right contingent of Steemit that loves to flag everybody. Crap. I forgot to keep my mouth shut. Pizzagate was once a serious meme here.

haha. nah. Not at the moment. Things are running pretty smooth lately. You should add links to your other websites and news paper articles. They will show up higher on SEO google, bing and baidu.
