Q: How many people can live in a place without it loosing its ghost town status?

The ghost towns around China, probably a very large percentage of the property has been sold, and probably some people live there. I just walked past a row of houses in my community (yes, it is actual houses, they are very pricy) it is about 1 in 10 of them that looks to be inhabited. I know for a fact they are all sold, just no one is living there. 

Is an area still a ghost town with 10% occupancy? Thoughts?

No that's not a ghost town...it would have to be 5% or less to call it a ghost town..

If you can hear more than twenty ringtones at any given moment, then "ghost town" status is lost and "blot on the landscape" status is reached. It's a bit like going from "peasant" to "common folk" on here. "Shifu" and "Emperor" status is reached when the noise levels would drown out that of a nuclear bomb going off.

If it's a ghost town, they are probably dead people.

 

Ghosts are unhappy in China, because they can't deliberately walk into foreigners. When they try to walk into foreigners, they walk straight through them. Foreigners are so bad.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
