I come asking this question in good faith because all I see is neoliberal Americans - who have not fully reckoned with our own homelessness issue - acting horrified of the videos going around of China demolishing unused apartments .
I would like to learn more about this sort of thing from a less biased, non-western source. Can someone actually put this video into proper context?
It's incredible to me how the most absolutely mundane shit is met with suspicion when china does it.
But I guess that is how they get you to fear shadows.
I remember a whole discourse about some chinese kids playing with a ball outside
They’re brainwashing them to be like the borg!!!
Demolishing 15 scyscrapers at the same time is pretty notable tbf.
I think that's just indicative of China's size and density. Most things that happen in that country involve what seems to a westerner to be a massive amount of people, so it was a big development project that failed for some reason and necessitated a big demolition.
