Numerous huge empty ghost towns in China speak volumes of the real estate bubble that could bring the Chinese economy to its knees.

The Chinese never learned how a modern financial system works. It will all come down. That and 40 years of bad weather in this Grand Solar Minimum we entered last year.

I want to believe that, but they've had empty standing complexes like that for years. Wonder what's with the weird dark bottoms on those. Are they gonna be 3-story basements units with a moat of air around each or something??

Interesting, those two apparent gussets in the lower left hand corner. I wonder if they are supposed to prevent the building from tipping over, as tall buildings sometimes do in China.

Can't find the spectacular recent case where they built on one soggy ground here:

Those are the shopping areas of a "mixed unit development". I guess.

At least that's what they're called here in Sodom on the Colorado.

Mixed Unit Development

Well, since the streets are just dirt, having copious MUD rooms makes a lot of sense.

I follow a man on YT who used to be a food broker in Asia. He speaks Chinese. He talked of what Chinese called tofu construction. Local Communist officials take so much bribe money out of construction projects that builders cut back on needed material. I have seen videos of wind blowing away huge chunks of buildings in China. Imagine what happens to your multi-million dollar investment when the wind blows part of your 30 story apartment building away.

I remember this one, and seem to recall seeing a video of it falling.

Interesting. I've seen in a video of an inspection of a Chinese building under construction the concrete was so poor that the inspector was pulling chunks of it out of a pillar and crushing it in his hand like sawdust.

Impressive that they seem to be semi-intact...maybe the dirt cushioned their landing(s). I'd suggest a pyramid type design in the future.

I'm guessing they would find a way to mess that up.

Feel sure there is -- maybe in some YT compilation, of which there are many.

Isn't that atrocious -- as bad as things are here, new construction's still mostly reliable.

Two expats seem to agree China's going down because of the bubble -- show collapsed balconies, exterior bricks shearing off like so much dirt etc.
