More Eerie 'Ghost Cities' Popping Up

Why is China constructing large, well-designed “ghost cities” that are completely devoid of people?

Now, the BBC reports a giant new Chinese-built city has been spotted in Africa in the outskirts of Angola’s capital Luanda.

The city, Nova Cidade de Kilamba, was designed to hold up to a half million people and features 750 eight-story apartment buildings, 12 schools and more than 100 retail units, according to the report.

State-owned China International Trust and Investment Corporation reportedly took less than three years to build the city at a cost of $3.5 billion. It covers 12,355 acres.

It's to keep workers working. Their real estate market has collapsed over the past 18 months. Property values have plummeted 50%. It's an attempt to game GDP. They are literally building factories, tearing them down, and building them again. Much like the Army, did a ditch, fill a ditch in.
