Q: Why are there 'ghost cities' in China?
...and do local media even bring it up? I've rarely seen them mentioned anywhere on English-available Chinese media.
can you supply a little bit more content please?
are you talking about abandoned cities like in europe after the reactor explosition ?

I meant the towns that were built from nothing in the last decade, in which literally no one lives because they're either too far out or the prices are too high (I think).
The three gorges damn boat tour actual stops at a touristy ghost town.... and if your defination is more open then there are many little industrial ghost towns around
Have a look here please. I don't think that this is a subject that the local media would willingly discuss:

I don't think that she is going to answer you, Phil .... from what I saw on the BBC, she is too busy being mauled and pushed around by hordes of Aborigines, along with the leader of the Opposition. Peaceful country, that is ...
It's pretty simple really.
As long as investors keep buying up the property, developers have every reason to keep building more.
When sales slow down, developers will scale back appropriately.
