Economy after the pandemic What happened to China's ghost cities?
Ten years ago, I saw many videos about ghost cities all over China.

At that time, I said that it is a matter of time for these ghost cities to be occupied.

Furthermore, these cities were built using spare idle resources in a global economic recession following the global financial crisis.

Why keep people idle when a government could offer them useful and productive jobs.

China was being criticized in the western media as creating white elephants and being wasteful.

What happened to these ghost cities?

I saw a recent video quoting an example of a ghost city that is now being well occupied.

However, I am not sure if this is reflective of the other ghost cities.

I shall find out more about these cities.
