China Flattening 700 Mountains To Build City
According to one of the country’s biggest construction firms, 700 mountains will be flattened at a cost of £2.2bn to make way for the new city.

Five hundred square miles of land in the Lanzhou New Area, 50 miles from the city of Lanzhou, will be developed into a massive new development zone.

Well it keeps the slaves employed so they don't revolt.

Hell why would China need to build another city?? They already have 60+ million empty houses.

Re: China Flattening 700 Mountains To Build City
JUST talked to a man in the USA, at a senior forum who OWNED an apartment in China and spends about half the year there.

   HE SAID " A Canadian company was building these large cities, NOT the Chinese government ! They are for Chinese AND outsiders who wish to live there. He said there were 100,000 people living in the 'complex' where he lives, and they have their OWN hospital, stores, etc.

Mentioned about the GLP 'rumors' that they were built in the mountains, because there might be a Tsunami that displaces millions from coastal cities. Said YES, that was quite possible. Also said it was very cheap to live there.

I speculate that they are looking forward to the population increase, since they are 'allowing' TWO children per family, instead of ONE ! Could help balance out the 70 -30 male to female (?) problem they now have, as they MIGHT stop Killing most of the female babies, BECAUSE the family wants a MALE HEIR !

Re: China Flattening 700 Mountains To Build City
As growth slows, China's huge investment in infrastructure is looking ever harder to sustain, leaving a string of ambitious projects - towns, shopping malls and even a theme park - empty and forlorn.

"We have spoken a lot about these ghost towns in Ireland and Spain recently [but China] is Ireland and Spain on steroids," says Kevin Doran, a senior investment fund manager at Brown Shipley in the UK.

Anyways, who needs those mountains ? They serve nothing, right ?
WRONG.

Mountains have a very important function on this earth. Like trees, or the ocean.

Last time we removed whole mountains on this earth was some more thousand of years before Jesus was born.
The result was, that large inondunations occurred, and land moved under the sea level.
The Aral sea still exists and part of the indian plate are now under water, LOL.

they are building these cities further inland so that people have somewhere to go when the water level rises and cities near the coast will no longer be habitable.

God how stupid. You flatten a natural landscape just so you can build another empty city. Like there is a need for it, or like this was the only place you could do it.
