Scratch this image deep enough and you will realize top local officials in China are always under tremendous pressure to increase GDP growth to further their own position and careers and that the easiest way will be build 'anything'/'something' within their jurisdiction.

If anything, go ahead and Google for China's empty cities. Frankly, I would not want to be anywhere near that bubble when it bursts.
