If you consider St Louis and Detroit to be ghost cities, then by that definition no I can't deny it. But Ordos is almost 2 million people, and its one of the richest cities in China so of course they're going to overbuild. It's in the middle of nowhere and the government is desperate to get people into less populated areas.
A fake European town that they built for no reason except to take wedding photos
These "ghost" cities also have many people living there. If I build a new house and choose not to live in it, or I build a house and let my old one fall into ruin what is the difference?St Louis and Detroit were built up over many many years as the population increased within each. They remain very much inhabited. A city on decline is not the same as some empty shell built for no reason other than to build it, and remain completely vacant for decades.
No one considers St Louis or Detroit ghost cities. That is not the definition of a ghost city.
They used more glue?
OMG!
Rain water ponding over the freshly poured slabs, wait a couple days and start framing it out.

...when I mentioned "glue." You got it, but this might confuse others. The thread title is fine. I'm disappointed in Newshour, though. Very disappointed.This was an interesting tidbit on tonight's Newshour. Oh my dear god! A nation on the rise, or what?

3 year old apartment and everywhere a building water pipe runs through this is happening. I don't think any buildings will collapse but who is going to want to live here in 20 years?
And no I don't leave it like this, that's how much dry wall falls off every few days.
To be fair, I should mention that I was referring to the image in the OP:

You live in China too??Oh, I thought you were recalling my story of a few years ago where the kitchen cabinet installers were gluing the cabinets to the drywall in new construction in lieu of screws because the feather board studs were too thin to detect with a stud finder.

Nope, they just have a crap ton of land and people, so logically this makes sense. Also, the United States and many other 1st world countries pump a lot of money into China so that helps. I'd like to see some pollutant facts, and I bet China is responsible for at least 1/3 of world output of pollutants. My wife is Chinese, and she'll tell you, it's a dirty, dirty country.
Some contractors at my coworkers apartment decided that instead of running some wires around a support beam, they would just saw through it and run the wires there. Now he can't use the balcony ever again on his brand new apartment because it has no support in the middle. Some of the thinking is so ridiculously narrow minded and counterproductive.

They can glue that back down and it'll be good as new.Dirty you said?

what he said
Nah, Arizona. In China, they execute a scumbag builder once in awhile; in Arizona, we make them Governor.
They're also pretty good at building giant fucking dams made out of cement and stuff
Great Depressiondid we make the hoover dam in the 20th century or 19th?

They basically owe on everything they're building. So the real question is, what happens when they default on it?
