Satellite images pulled from Google Maps showing empty Chinese ‘ghost-cities’ surfaced and went viral yesterday, capping months of allegations that there are allegedly over 64 million brand new vacant apartments in China, enough to house over 200 million people.The almost post-apocalyptic images of excess property are said to be the result of Chinese government pressure to increase internal economic activity – and hence net GDP – by any possible means, even building entire cities even when it’s unnecessary.
Will someone please tell the Mexicans about this.
Bill Gates will buy it. American employees can then be relocated to work abroad for half the pay, "all bills paid". < 1/2 sarcasm >

Why would Bill Gates do that? He doesn’t own America, the Chinese do.....
Why bother relocating spoiled Americans? ;-)
RE: Bill Gates will buy it
Of course, you know that Gates is no longer active with Microsoft. He’s into philanthropy now. In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, current CEO Steve Ballmer once said that once Gates leaves, “I’m not going to need him for anything. That’s the principle,” Ballmer said. “Use him, yes, need him, no.”
Maybe we can ask Steve Ballmer is he’s interested ...
