#7Suprising the outside world does not realise whats going on in China, this is old news..........
The true situation is much worse but well covered up by the Chinese government, the Chinese are afraid to talk about it or simply believe the government knows what they are doing speak out and you stand a good chance of being locked up or worse just vanishing
I used to rent an apartment in Beijing (Capital) 2007-2009, when I was looking for an apartment I was told by one estate agent that there were over 1,000,000 empty unsold apartments in Beijing (2007) I hate to think how many there are now
The funny thing is the prices keep going up, might have something to do with the government having a 50% share in all property developments
Even worse is the quality of what they are building, no insulation, no heating apart from airconditioning (in the south) single glazed windows are the norm,
electrics and water are a joke, the fire safety makes me cringe, i must remember to buy a base jumping parachute next time i am in the UK

#8China doesn't have an official "dole", i.e if you are unemployed you starve .... rather than introduce one and give people free money to sit on their arses and let htem think they can get owt fro nowt they keep them busy building -what's the problem?

#9china's population is actually about to die big time... there may be over a billion of them but the one child policy meant that people were only wanting males and knocking off the girls. For a population to sustain itseld, 2.3 children are required from every female (to give you an idea, spain is at 1.4... a dying population). Only reason the population is getting larger is from false growth, there arent more new people, just more old people as they are living longer... by 2050 demographers believe that there will be less than 200 000 000 people in china.
Only country that is exploding in polulation is India.
Africa in general would be going nuts but aids seems to be keeping the pop down substantially.
if you want to hear something interesting, look up 'demographic winter' on youtube
