Just like the old days, hershey town!

I have seen how close certain people get close with China for the last 10 years. Nobody is stupid.

How easily CCP gets what it wants from American Companies, International companies have long complained that China has strong-armed them into handing over trade secrets in exchange for market access. Hopefully it will hold up unlike the $12 Mil Kenyan Bridge CCP built 6/26/2017

Ok, but who is going to live in it? Last time we checked, a bunch of CH people are fleeing that country to either Europe, Australia, or the US.

This is what the wealth transfer from the US to China looks like.

they Going to put this city under a dome? Because it’s so damn polluted in China you can’t see 5 feet in front of you

They already have a complete city built that no one will live in. How would this be different?

Wow, finally a nice story on China.

Is Tencent a rapper....?

CharlesBoles1 Can't read the article - but am assuming this was planned long before COVID. Maybe it will be good for them - but I always worry when companies build fantastic offices - because in the knowledge & digital economy one doesnt need fancy - you just need to all be connected.

A small step for Tencent, a big step towards complete civilian surveillance

Many protesters were willing to fight for our freedom against the government though they knew they might be caught and imprisoned. And now some of them are detained. Wish that they are all fine. And hope that you guys can be concerned about them. From Hongkonger

This looks amazing. Good for Tencent. Sadly there's no way you could do something new like this in America nowadays, young people complain too much about big corporations and would probably say this is a sign of companies controlling too much of people's lives.

A little delusional at this point. Just like in the US, most people can't afford or don't want to live in this type of complex.

Keith_Wasserman Wait I thought real estate was dead? Or is that just an American thing?

This is what you can achieve when you direct your wealth towards development and infrastructure instead of world domination and global military hegemony like the US.
