Malinvestment in China proceeds at a staggering pace. Technically, this growth adds to GDP, but eventually it will be written off.
Ghost cities, ghost malls, and empty train stations in China have been in the news for years. The world's largest mall is unoccupied and entire cities sit vacant.

Coming to Amerika, thanks to UN Agenda 21.I heard a rumor, that according to Agenda 21, they think the population of America should only be 500,000. I do not know if that is true or not.

I still believe the Chinese are building these cities in order to keep their workers busy.
Workers who are employed, have money in their pockets, and are busy aren’t angry and formenting political unrest, which would be a threat to the regime.

Outside of nuclear war, how are they going to convince 5 and 1/2 billion people to off themselves, to reach their target number? A bit of a conundrum, no?

One Guidestones fan web site shows a pie chart with over 90% of Humanity in the ominous "Cull" category...Yes, exactly what I mean, how do they plan to "cull" 90% of the world's population, with out creating more than just a little stir?

What a hell of a great idea! And their parents and extended families can join them.
They may have trouble learning Mandarin, but the Chinese will have little trouble learning the Spanish necessary to order them around.

They are Potemkin cities according to Philippinos I know who face the invasion of China. They are meant to make the West believe China is pursuing a civil economy. buildings are not even wired or with foundations.

I've been a fly on the wall at some of these globalist master planners gatherings. The half billion figure is fairly common because that was the stable population of the earth before capitalism was invented give or take a few millions.
Some of the more progressive minded in their group, however, will tell you that the earth can now support about four times that number due to technological advances.
Of course they, in their infinite wisdom, get to decide which two billion of us get to stay on the planet.

Exactly. Also, the imbalance in gender, with many men and too few women, feeds that anger and unrest.

Bill Ayers was saying back in his Weathermen days that we needed to kill 10% of the population of the US to get the other 90% in line. I suspect he has put quite a bit of thought into the matter.

Well; when the Christians are Raptured out; the 'stir' will have begun... I am sure that will create a big stir. After the rapture, the world can have all the sin it wants. IIRC, I think the book of Revelation talks like 2/3 of the world's population will be killed off. It is possible that it will be by the direct hand of God, or nucs, or both, but outside of the Tribulation period, I don't think there is any way these slime bags can eliminate 6 billion people. And, of course, the previously mentioned slime bags, think they should be the ones to decide who goes and who stays.

The US is doing the same thing. It’s called economic development, and every state, city, and town has an economic development division that is responsible for picking winners and losers in business, dreaming up costly “quality of life” projects, and using taxpayer money to bribe businesses to relocate. They are nothing more than gussied up Soviet 5-year plans with a Chamber of Commerce face.

Sure; we have a large mall in the NJ meadowlands (next to Giants Stadium) complete with an indoor ski slope that was completed years ago and has never opened (it is eerie).
I’m sure those workers collected a couple of years’ pay for what amounted to a makework project...
