Haha you would definitely think that just leaving it would be cheaper, but you would have to pay an entire team to continually manage the logistics of it, upkeep, secure it, insure it, etc. especially a ghost city. It wont be long until people start raiding it and scrapping the goods themselves. You’re also never getting anyone to move in, so you have a depreciating asset on your hands right now while metal is high. Im thinking the analysts are saying their best bet is to cut the losses, avoid the risk, extract as much capital as possible and look towards the next fight.

I’m also not sure if China’s 70 year policy applies to these properties as well where the CCP takes back the “rights” to the land after 70 years, if so idk why these fucking retards would ever invest in land there other than to carry out their evil ass plan. Fucking heathens.
