From Pentagon to Thames Town: The Collapse of China's Ambitious Replicas

The key differences between China's copy towns and the originals are foreign cultures and foreign people.

The CCP will never allow foreign cultures to integrate into their "CCP is god" culture.

GDP built build....build....build... GDP no economic gain.... they waste their resources on this kind of projects but neglect their citizens... pity.

The funny part is they built all these world famous turist attractions with the goal to attract turists from all over the world to China😂

And if anyone still is doubtful about if Chinas ”growth Miracle” the past 30 years was all ”real GDP” or not and/or why the local government debt could have soared so high.. This is the video for you😅

[wwww]

The bigger the plans, the bigger the losses. That's what you get from this system.

These multiple Billions USD replicas served their purposes during the time of their construction & building.... they assisted to increase PRChina's GDP growth figures and most importantly, many got very wealthy in the process either providing the concepts, constructions, materials, workers, or giving the necessary approval, the inspection seals, issuing documents & the final red seals etc. etc. Those many involved in the projects were most happy .... spending the monies. They were like consuming at the great feasts, of wines, great cuisines, at Great Banquets ... now what left afterwards, like in a Grand Banquet Halls ..filled with dirty plates, cutleries, unwasted table linens and also those unwashed bathrooms/toilets etc. etc. Mostly, Abandoned, with nobody interested to clean up the mess, except the occasionally assigned street cleaner.

You look at all these project's... its no wonder the country is bankrupt.😂😂😂😂😂

[tedzehnder]

I doubt they are doing it solely out of admiration. I think it`s more like, "Hey, we can build that too, no big deal see, whatever you can do, so can we".

[MasticinaAkicta]

I wondered how they were doing, wasn't it a few years a go that even Xi was like "Eeeh yeah don't make those. It makes us look stupid."
So you have cloned areas that end up too expensive for most chinese to life in. And it is too small for the rich chinese.
GREAT IDEA.

[Zebadee]

If you build it they will come ..., except they won't.

China: spend borrowed money to build Tofu Dreg liabilities no one wants or needs.
Democratic country: invest capital to build productive assets.

[gabriellechung]

Who made the decisions to build these? Don’t they do any research or survey and ask the public if they would live there? Probably would have saved a lot of money.

[brentsrx]

Attempts at excessive central planning are a problem... It's not all doom and gloom. Within one generation, China went from a starving Communist backwater to one of the most vibrant market economies in the world, thus creating the largest manufacturing superpower in human existence. That said, I fear China is making the same mistake that the U.S. made in the 1920's by adopting the Federal Reserve system (in 1914), leading to unsustainable growth, hyperinflation, and the great depression. That depression directly lead to political unrest and the grounds for world war. I pray that China can keep itself together, lest our experiment in civilization end with the heat of a thousand suns.

[stevidente]

Taking the concept of “build it and they will come” a little too far.

[felixcat]

The original buildings in London, dating back hundreds of years were better constructed than the modern Chinese copycat structures!

Rather than creating tofu dreg cities that no one wants, China should use that money to implement internationally accredited food safety standards which are rigorously enforced!

[wayangkulit]

Of course it's all a criminal rip off 😂😂😂

[sporehux]

Why run the scam out to building 80% is completed, just complete payouts after the fancy scale model is complete, end result is the same and you don't waste all that tofu.

[markgarin]

Well if you don't have an original looks like the Pentagon.

Sorry, pet store with 0 animals...is not a pet store.

[jhendricks]

CCP sure like to spend, another copy of our congress .
