They government build insaine high speed trains , stations , Highways , Air ports, Harbors and ports facilities, Industy built huge factorys , massive modern buildings and all on the assumption that the Money would never stop comming in . Well the money has stopped and loans are Due and the local governments have No money . Only the elites have money and the ability to make money . China is devolving and economy is devaluing . China is reverting to the 1930's where there are surfs and the elite Royality of the CCP

      it's worth noting that while China does have almost 1 Billion people it's also one of the largest land masses, about the same as USA or Canada in land and unlike Canada or Russia most of it's land is 'livable' for humans. When you do the math, the population density is not especially high. It's probably around 100th out of 200 countries.
      That said, yes if you consider the alleged population density of these city centers (which can be quite dense) this is definitely not good.

With a huge population of close to 30 million people which is even more than a number of countries' populations, can the city looks deserted as the OP aka liar claimed? Or the train station & airport as he* or she* had also claimed before? Lol...dun be easily fooled by all those haters who regularly spin twisted lies on anything China

      Exodus 20:4-5 ERV
      "Don't worship or serve idols of any kind, because I, the LORD, am your God. I hate my people worshiping other gods. People who sin against me become my enemies, and I will punish them. And I will punish their children, their grandchildren, and even their great-grandchildren."

      Good point. However, with many of the alien civilizations, their pulse phase tracking beams rely on the energy emitted from biomass; basically, natural and living structures. When a test subject, whether plant or animal, is locked onto and converted for intergalactic transfer, inorganic matter does not convert.
      I don't believe there have been reports of copious amounts of uninhabited clothing randomly laying around, which would, in fact, point to mass alien abduction.

The younger generations in large numbers are now destined for poverty for the rest of their lives, this because older generations, baby-boomer's cashing in on their generation even before they were born and continues today. Baby-boomer's decided not to educate post generations at the level they themselves were educated, this for self-serving reasons as stated. You don't know what you don't know! Younger generations will pay for it all well after the baby-boomer's are dust! The young by and large are now the poor without means to spend on anything other than rent and to just survive!

    I understand some of this. I never go out to eat because I can't afford it. Foot traffic in our malls as decreased, our larger mall was torn down and replaced with stand-alone stores. Part of their problem was the increase in online shopping, which may be part of China's problem as well

    No money is a death sentence. Unless these workers were provided with free living space, free food, free medical, free clothing= or uniforms. In short, if the workers were legally a slave then no money means death.

    NYT - 14. 01. 2025 - China announced on Monday that its trade surplus reached almost $1 trillion last year as its exports swamped the globe, while the country’s own businesses and households spent cautiously on imports. China’s exports of everything from cars to solar panels have been an economic bonanza for the country. Exports have created millions of jobs not just for factory workers, whose inflation-adjusted wages have about doubled in the past decade but also for high-earning engineers, designers and research scientists.
