Good question August, we sold them all our gold, so I guess and anything goes, Hell even I've probably been sold to the Chinese - i just don't know it yet, but so long as my new owner looks like something like this It might not be so bad.

Basic human rights, fair work conditions, environment laws or a decent brew

Well they copy and mass produce everything else why not towns!!

So is the thinking that if they build copies of overseas tourist attractions then foreign tourists will come to China instead of visiting the real one's, or it so the proletariat masses will visit the copies instead of wanting to leave the motherland?
Either way ,it definitely comes under the heading of wtf.....
