Skyscrapers in China completely overgrown with plants!

They have short-man's inferiority complex. Too much, too fast.

I can't open the video, OP

Apparently the greenery has somehow created a plague of mosquitoes so only a few people have moved in

Not sure why, R2.

I clicked on the link again and it was working.

Go to youtube and copy/paste this into the search box:

Concrete jungle: China's 'vertical forest' overrun by greenery | AFP

That's the video title.

Eeeew, MOSQUITOES!!

Couldn't they put up screens to deal with the mosquitoes? I would want a colony of geckos on my terrace.

Why does china keep building more skyscrapers, when they can't even sell the ones they already have?

Just miles and miles of ghost cities.

They're so fucking bizarre.

All of these empty buildings, and no one to occupy them.

It's like they're trying to replicate American cities.

The only problem is that no one in china can afford these apartments.

And the ones who can afford it, are buying up all of the American and European real estate.

"If you build it, they will come..."

Rolf. Okay, not really.

But at least they look nice.

Those would be the perfect places to house refugees.

Skeeter Towers

R7, because the state-sponsored contruction keeps the economy chugging along. It keeps the factories running and the people employed.

Oh, please.

Do you honestly believe those greedy pigs would ever do something so humane as house refugees?

They do nothing that doesn't benefit themselves.

Unless it makes them money, you can forget about it.

They'd rather have empty ghost cities with hundreds of abandoned buildings, than ever do something humanitarian.

Everything that china does is a pale imitation of the U.S.
