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?

    Everyone is repeating the CCP lie that sometimes large-scale demolitions happen in the real estate business. Truth is Chinese just did this to flex on the west. Same with the ghost cities, its like pouring out champagne for them, they just have so many tall buildings they burn them to light Chinese cigars off of
