China is building its own Manhattan and it's a ghost town

vendredi 27 juin 2014

China Housing Market Bubble Start to Pop as Economy Faces Hard-Landing China's project to build a replica Manhattan is taking shape against a backdrop of vacant office towers and unfinished hotels, underscoring the risks to a slowing economy from the nation's unprecedented investment boom. The skyscraper-filled skyline of the Conch Bay district in the northern port city of Tianjin has none of a metropolis's bustle up close, with dirt-covered glass doors and construction on some edifices halted. The deserted area underscores the challenge facing China's leaders in dealing with the fallout from a record credit-fueled investment spree while sustaining growth and jobs in the world's second-biggest economy. A Tianjin local-government financing vehicle connected to the developments said revenue fell 68 percent in 2013 to an amount that's less than one-third of debt due this year.
