The government's new directive betrays a mounting anxiety among Chinese leaders that the country could be heading into a growing economic slump. Even before the trade war between the United States and China, residents of the world's second-largest economy were showing signs of keeping a tight grip on their wallets.

How real are those "empty" cities where the chinese put their money into real estate dev and nobody moves into the buildings?

These guys did some up close filming at one of those places recently.

If China tanks I think it will hit the West.
