"it's actually the opposite of what you are saying here，ghost cities is cost by competition and poor investment in real estate 10 and Xiongan is a different story. The Chinese government is super smart. They understand the importance of the free-market and they have been managing it for the past 50 years and have been very successful. How? By opening the market to private companies and manage competition and capital flow between the private and the state-owned. They are very aware of the importance of the market economy that's how they gained their success in the first place. As time goes by, the government has realized that the market economy faces challenges when powerful elites who have too much control over state-owned enterprises won't give away their power and start to interfere with the government decisions. This includes some banks, some infrastructure as you said in the video. Their new plan for building 5G infrastructures and technology especially require these powerful people in the state-owned companies to give away their capitals and their control of the market to the private sectors, in order to stimulate the market and build competitive products. But how to dismantle this huge power machine? But building a second capital city and place these state-owned companies away from Beijing so that they cannot affect government decisions on giving away capitals. In Chinese, it's called "Fenquan分权": Power split. A tactic frequently used in Chinese long history when powerful governors own too much and start to interfere with government decisions. In this case, contrary to what you said: Xiongan is not an experiment for socialism, but a step ahead to capitalism. If the West keeps using cheap propaganda to fool people about China, without understanding the truths, it is going to fall far far behind. When China keeps reflecting on improvements, the West is busily believing they are falling apart and getting confused about why they are not."

Throughout Chinese history, this is not the first time a state ordered a city to be built and inhabited. Some cities today were ordered by emperors to be built and people are moved in by force. Of course by today's standard we can no longer force people to move in but moving public services there is one of the way. The state control the real estate means that private money cannot jack up the real estate prices which is what you called huge revenue by transaction.

Sounds like the reign of Indian Emperor Mohammad bin Tughlaq who was infamous for marching the entire population of Delhi to his new capital of Daulatabad/Devagiri in South Central India. The project was an absolute failure due to the lack of water in the area. People still call politicians they don't like Tughlaq today. Another failed capital move was done by Emperor Akbar and his failed planned capital move from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri due to water problems. However, there were many successful planned capital moves like Emperor Shahjahans move from Agra to the planned city of Delhi, Emperor Amoghavarsha's move to Manaykheta, Emperor Rajendra Cholas move from Thanjavur to Gangaikondacholapuram and Emperor Harshavardhana's move from Sthaneswara to Kannauj.

This includes some banks, some infrastructure as you said in the video.

In this case, contrary to what you said: Xiongan is not an experiment for socialism, but a step ahead to capitalism.

​@@MrBasketville I also discussed with a very informed Chinese friend about Xiongan. What I try to explain is that the headquarters of 80% of state-owned companies are located in Beijing. These powerful elites defend their interests and control the capitals. Managing a 1.4M country, it's much more complicated and can’t be achieved by ideology. Authoritarian regimes cannot be explained by a few pages of Orwell’s fiction. The free market is a great western invention, and China learns its lessons. About Fenquan,basically, there are two conditions, when Chinese emperors decide to move their Captital city(Qiandu): 1.facing invasion 2. Split power. Here is an example of the Emperor Xiaowen of Norther Wei Dynasty (386 to 534 ADThe young emperor was very ambitious in his goals of building up the economy, but constantly being obstructed by nobles who own lands and capitals and don’t want to give them away. Therefore, he moved the capital city from Shanxi to Luoyang, to split the functional government from high ranking nobles.

There are some rules for how those pinyin latin characters are read out in English it's not obvious I get it but if you don't say it somewhat close to what it should be it's hard to follow what you're talking about.

MALAY SUBTITLES : Part 1 of 4 00:29 Rakan-rakan yang dihormati, China telah menjadi pakar dalam membina bandar ... dari awal. 00:58 Bandar yang dalam banyak kes, memang benar, kosong atau dengan kadar penghunian yang jauh 01:02 di bawah yang dianggarkan pada mulanya. Di dunia lain mereka berada 01:05 dikenali sebagai bandar hantu China. Tetapi ... Tidak. Kita tidak akan 01:09 pergi ke sana dalam video ini, kerana kami telah memberitahu anda tentang beberapa daripadanya. 01:12 Dalam video ini kita akan membincangkan mengenai peningkatan salah satu projek peribadi XI Jinping sendiri. 01:17 Projek yang diharapkan oleh presiden China akan menjadi contoh masa depan yang cerah 01:20 model pembangunan untuk seluruh negara. Perubahan paradigma di mana pemerintah, 01:24 Negara dan Xi sendiri mahu memainkan peranan yang lebih utama dalam pembangunan 01:28 wilayah dan rangkaian tempatan yang membentuk struktur ekonomi dan sosial. 01:31 Berbeza dengan apa yang dilakukan setakat ini. Tetapi kawan, jauh dari kriteria pasaran 01:35 yang menentukan evolusi yang disebut "Zon Ekonomi Khas", 01:39 seperti contoh kes terkenal di Shenzhen [Shen Djen] atau daerah Pudong di Shanghai, 01:43 perkembangan baru ini yang akan kita lihat sama sekali berbeza. 01:51 Saya merujuk kepada kawasan baru Xiongan [Jong an - "J" seperti "G" kedua dalam bahasa Inggeris "garage"], 01:53 projek yang sudah dijalankan dan yang bertujuan untuk menjadi Megacity abad ke-21. 01:58 Sebuah bandar baru yang akan menduduki tiga daerah luar bandar: Rongcheng, Xiongxian dan Anxin, di Provinsi Hebei. 02:05 Tetapi itu baru permulaan. Walaupun projek itu menganggarkan bahawa pada fasa pertama ini 02:08 bandar akan menempati 100 km², maksudnya adalah untuk jangka sederhana saiznya akan melebihi 2,000 km². 02:16 Untuk memberi anda idea, itu hampir tiga kali ganda daripada keseluruhan kawasan New York City. 02:21 Terletak berhampiran Beijing tetapi di kawasan yang jauh kurang maju dan mempunyai masalah pencemaran yang serius, 02:26 Xiongan bertujuan untuk menjadi yang paling teknologi, 02:28 bandar yang paling baik dihubungkan dan paling mesra alam di China menjelang 2035. 02:32 Dengan rancangan induk yang mengambil kira beberapa fasa pembangunan 02:35 mencapai sehingga 2050, pelaburan yang telah dilakukan oleh kerajaan China 02:39 ruang bandar baru ini adalah stratosfera. Menurut anggaran Morgan Stanley, 02:44 kita bercakap mengenai anggaran antara $ 170 dan $ 300 bilion dolar, di antaranya 02:48 lebih kurang separuh akan digunakan untuk menyediakan infrastruktur ultra moden di metropolis ini. 02:56 Ideanya ialah Xiongan akan melengkapkan segitiga strategik dari sudut ekonomi: 03:00 bandar ini akan terletak kira-kira 100 kilometer dari Beijing dan Tianjin [Tián-Chin], sebuah 03:04 pelabuhan dan bandar industri yang penting. Selain itu, ia akan dihubungkan dengan yang baru 03:08 Lapangan Terbang Beijing Daxing [Běijīng Dàxīng] hanya dalam 20 minit, dan hanya setengah jam dari Beijing 03:12 pusat bandar, berkat kereta api berkelajuan tinggi. Dengan cita-cita strategik ini, dan kerana 03:20 daripada cabaran besar yang diwakilinya, banyak penganalisis dan pakar membandingkannya 03:23 projek ini untuk kes-kes Shenzhen, yang dipromosikan oleh Presiden Deng Xiaoping pada tahun 80-an, 03:28 dan daerah Pudong di Shanghai, yang dipromosikan oleh Jiang Zemin pada tahun 90-an. 03:38 Sebenarnya, tepatnya penubuhan dua bidang ekonomi khas ini 03:43 meletakkan asas China moden, China yang terbuka untuk pasaran dan dunia. 03:48 Namun, kawan-kawan, projek haiwan peliharaan Jingping sama sekali tidak menyerupai salah satu pendahulunya. 03:53 Apa yang Xi Jingping cuba lakukan di sini adalah sebaliknya: untuk menunjukkan bahawa seorang sosialis baru 03:58 China mungkin, dipimpin dengan tegas oleh Parti Komunis China. Sebuah bandar yang paling banyak 04:02 yang penting bukan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang berorientasikan pasaran, tetapi Negara itu sendiri. 04:07 Tetapi .... Tahan. Bolehkah projek yang tidak mengutamakan inisiatif swasta berjaya? 04:12 Apa yang dapat dipelajari dari pengalaman masa lalu? Adakah Xiongan akan berjaya atau gagal? 04:16 Sebelum menjawab soalan-soalan ini, kita akan melihat lebih dekat Shenzhen, cahaya 04:20 yang menerangi fajar raksasa Asia. Percubaan skala besar pertama yang berjaya 04:25 menukar model China selama-lamanya. Dengarkan. 04:47 (SIMBOL REVOLUSI DENG XIAOPING) Rakan-rakan VisualPolitik yang dikasihi, ketika kita bercakap 04:53 mengenai transformasi fenomenal China, dalam kebanyakan kes kita sebenarnya tidak 04:57 menyedari kelajuan pening yang berlaku dan apa titik permulaannya. 05:04 Anda lihat, pada akhir 1970-an, pemimpin China ketika itu, Deng Xiaoping, diberi amaran bahawa pengeluaran makanan 05:09 dan tahap industri dengan cepat merosot. Terdapat risiko yang serupa dengan senario 05:13 kebuluran besar China yang membunuh berjuta-juta orang antara tahun 1959 dan 1961 akan berulang. 05:19 Atas sebab ini, Deng Xiaoping, pemimpin yang sudah menjadi miliknya
