A large number of those cities are filled, and various of them are 'tier 2' cities now. That means 10 million people.

Wikipedia has only 7 Chinese cities listed with a population over 10 million

A large number of them aren't and they're crumbling apart after only a couple of years being built.

A large number of them being filled and another large number of them YET not being filled still makes dozens of millions of cities coming to being out of nowhere and providing people with affordable, well-planned urban environments instead of using the demand to skyrocket the real estate prices at the cost of causing homelessness and suffering.

That's responsible, future-oriented development.
