    China has about 2 million homeless people and that’s on the very low end. This is despite the country having over 1 BILLION vacant houses.

    Also Chinese infrastructure is a meme on every front. The materials are incredibly cheap, there’s little regard for safety standards, and they’re built without factoring in feasibility or usefulness. China built a lot of infrastructure very fast to boost it’s GDP, and while that worked for that purpose, they’re now saddled with a lot of debt and a lot of maintenance costs for a lot infrastructure that nobody uses. China isn’t like Japan or Germany where the infrastructure is well built, well designed, and placed in the areas where it makes the most sense. The idea of Chinese efficiency is a myth.
