Why China seems to have so many ghost cities, towns and even subway stations?

Western media always promulgates the impression that China is full of ghost cities, towns and even subway stations, it that really so? There are some bad, abandoned projects in China just like in every country, but most of those so called ghost somethings are just some newly finished infras which haven't had people moved in.
What makes China's infra building different from the west is China always plans ahead, always makes long term plans, building infras many years ahead of time.
--------------

5 years ago some muck raking foreign reporter found a "ghost subway station" in China and it became an instant online sensation across the globe after being posted on foreign social media.
5 years have passed and how this "ghost subway station" looks today?

The western media footage of the 2017 was filmed with yellowish filter which makes the video look pretty dark and depressing...

The yellowish color filter has applied on tells you why all of these medias are super biased towards China. If you just remove the filter, everyone would suddenly look much more wealthier.

An influencer wolf. An intelligent wolf pretends to be a dog and begs for food on highway in Tibet going viral on the Chinese social media

The story goes like this wolf was injuried and couldn't hunt for natural preys and he comes up with a novel idea of pretending to be a dog and begs for food along the highway in Tibet. After he recovers from the injury he finds that dog pretending is a much easier way to get food and decides to permanently settle for this deception job, soon after several other wolves also joined him for this trade.

These are wolf dogs. Not wild wolves.

You can make out by the set of their eyes.

There are tons of videos on You Tube of wolf dogs and breeders developing new breeds with high wolf content.

One that I follow closely is the Lycan Shepherd, a mix of high content wolf and Blue Bay Shepherd.

Tagging other dog lovers
