It is soulless.

I've read and watched videos about the Chinese culture associated with living like this: the biggest shock I had was learning how the residents don't even try to improve anything.

It's normal for the lights in the stairways and halls to need replacing, but nobody lifts a finger to fix any problems, even a $1 light-bulb, because they just don't care.

They don't want for anything better.

They're like animals.

The Chinese are so fucking bizarre. They're hated not only politically but as a race by almost all of east Asia, behave in a completely different way to their Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Filipino, etc. counterparts, haven't invented much if at all since the dynasties fell, there's so much.

They don't own the land, it's a 20 year lease with buildings being rushed. Nobody cares about maintenance, and soon as the lease expires everything has to be demolished or abandoned.

A lot of these developments is also bare bone and empty, used solely as investment apartments which people buy only to sell at a higher value, which is kind of insane you might think as the more time passes on the less time on the lease. Who would buy a $500k apartment which they can only live in for 5 years until it has to be demolished.
