Since so many Americans can’t afford to buy a home in the US, maybe China will let us move there?

I recall reading an article several years ago about “Ghost Cities” - the Chinese built entirely new cities with high rises, roads and infrastructure etc and virtually nobody lives in them. Not sure if it was true, or remains true.

That’s because most of them are literally falling apart.

Nobody lives in them, and nobody can live in them because the construction is so shoddy

Corruption.
Basically the construction companies and real estate companies used government and investment money to build cities that would never be inhabited. The buildings in question aren’t even suitable to live in. They are missing stairwells and water pipes and everything else. They are just shells of buildings.
