China Gov’t stimulus plan: $1 billion new city, no people

china_townSo, how’s that economy doing?

According to AlJazeera – English (I know, right?), the Chinese government has invested $585 billion (USD) into the country’s economy, hoping to stimulate demand (why it needs demand when it has an 8% growth in GDP is beyond me, but I’m not an economist).

The stimulus has definitely paid off, at least if you’re a construction worker. According to a YouTube video, the government has built a $1 billion new city – homes, businesses, etc. Only one thing missing – people.
