Many westerners don’t really understand china’s district system for cities. Ordos City is very old, maybe a couple of thousand years by various names.

Kangbashi is a new remote district (New Town) of Ordos that was built over the last couple of decades and is still very much empty. It is too far away to commute to Ordos’s older more popular districts, and so people don’t want to live there. Many of the apartments have been bought out by speculators, however.

Ordos is kind of the 'original' ghost city, the one that sparked Western curiosity.

There's a lot of reporting about it subsequently.

It looks like folks are indeed moving in, but maybe not at the rate that would make sense.

Ordos was never a ghost city, one of its newly built far out districts, Kangbashi, was. Chinese cities are more like counties that contain multiple municipalities.

Oh look, the propaganda team has arrived!

You don't seem to be refuting the central claim, but rather accusing the person of being non-genuine, can you point out any flaws with their assertion?

Created an hour go not ring any bells

There's nothing to refute, they posted an article that contradicts their own assertion.
