A Stunning Look At China's Ghost Cities
This is well worth a look - interesting insight into China

Do you mean the economic data and growth fed to the world by the Chinese Communist Party is not 100% accurate? Gasp!
If there was a God, then why is my arse the perfect height for kicking?

Information coming out of the CCP is not expected to be believed - thats a given, an obvious bubble being flattly ignored is more problematic especially given Australia's reliance on this engine to continue. There are so many factors at play in China - its basically a case of doing everything they can to keep growth at a level sufficient to absord enough new entrants into the market. 64 million vacant properties and even more people searching for homes without the money to pay... It seems like a recipe for a correction.
