Not that I fully believe this, but the claims about Ghost Cities, for example. Infrastructure projects built to increase GDP and industrial activity without clear goals.

The Ghost Cities crop up every once in a while, but they aren't actually a problem. They usually turn into actual cities.

(There are some other problems with Chinese GDP figures, but Ghost Cities aren't among them.)
