live there even for sometime and you will know the real score. How many people did they interview for that program?  How many people who knows what is economy in the program?

It was even implied or directly said that the marketing people are scripted in their ways of handling leaflets? Was that needed in the program?

Whether it's propaganda or not, it's still working for them.  At least, China is not that secretive as it was before. Even doing business with them is already not one way but beneficial to outside investments.  If they collapse due to these unoccupied condominiums, or ghost cities as reported, for sure there will be good and bad consequences.  MAybe they stop bullying their Asian neighbors on terrritorial disputes. How I wish!
