I feel that the western media is having a hard time wrapping their heads around how things are done in China, it took me a while to realize the magnitude of what China is doing, they are building cities and waiting for people to come. Much like how in the US we would set up office buildings or strip malls and wait for occupants. China seems to be doing this on a much grander scale.

Yes, it's ethnocentrism on a mass scale. No culture really respects different ways of doing things, but when you're the international media you should have some notion that not every country does things exact how the United States does them. They treat China like the country is being run by a bunch of buffoons, but they really just don't understand what's going on. What's worse is that they don't seem to care -- they play for their audience. I guess that's normal.

Still, the population density is nowhere near that of an actual city, let alone a city in China.

Not sure if I missed something, but from your video and photos it looks pretty empty to me. That certainly doesn't mean that it couldn't become filled with people and life, but most of the shots in your video and photos are of huge buildings with maybe a few cars or people. The fact that there are a few people living there doesn't mean that it's not pretty desolate. I can't myself imagine wanting to move someplace with such low density.

I'm not saying I disagree with your overall point, but I can't say I find the evidence you're presenting very convincing.

You can read third party research on the matter if you don't believe this.

I did, and I do believe the conclusions. I'm not disputing that. I'm just pointing out that if you look through your images on this page, you are showing a bunch of buildings and almost no people, which kind of undermines your point. (If you showed a bunch of people walking around downtown streets or in parks, it would be much more convincing.)

After looking at some of the pics. If it ever becomes close to 60%-90% capacity, how would one drive?

Has anyone directly contacted 60 Minutes about their report? Have they made any official statement in response to this?

I tried to contact them, but they didn't respond. Feel free to try to get there attention if you would like. I would be curious to see how they reply.
