When you have time, play the video.  Takes 17 minutes or so.  Very interesting production on many levels, primarily an insight into a rising 21st century city-state.  Note the use of occidental races in many of the shots, particularly in business and at play.

Looks like the baton has been passed.
Breathtaking scale.  Movie/dinner/swim anyone?

Boy they sure used up the Webster’s with all of them thar 50 cent words describing the animation in the movie. A verbal litany of symbolism.
All the real non-animated video was of Ero-American sites. Might indicate they aint quite there yet.
This must be the move in and never leave enclosed and contained civilization of the future. It’s very hard to breathe the air in China’s cities.

I had to stop the video. I felt like I was going to upchuck my lunch with all of the BS and $50 words. With everything made in China, they can build wastelands like that easily.

A few days ago I did a over fly of China using Google Earth. looks like they are making the investment. Many of the super highways go nowhere, I guess to future planed cites....

At least "they" know how to spend our money....

...and our streets "were paved with gold" in the promised land.
The vast majority of immigrants arrived to streets of mud, acres of tenements, filth and squalor.

Earlier, Roads were carved into the wilderness, -Braddock's road being not much more than a modified trail.

And a great country was born.

An excellent place to fleece tourists of their money! Too rich for my blood.
