Ordos - A Failed Utopia Raphael Olivier

Ordos, Inner Mongolia, is well known as the largest Chinese “ghost town”. Located in a province rich with natural resources (coal, gas, rare earth metals), the local government decided to invest heavily in the late 90’s / early 20’s to develop a new city which would become the pride of the country: a futuristic vision of a cultural, economic and political center boasting state-of-the-art infrastructure and real estate. However, following the classic Chinese tradition of building fast and cheap, without any urban planning or long term vision, the city quickly became a spectacular failure. The prices of property being much too high discouraged potential buyers so the only people who actually moved in were local government officials and migrant workers who could earn more here thanks to a special “relocation bonus”. As a result the city is now a surreal landscape of empty streets, decaying monuments, abandoned buildings and half-finished housing projects. It is more than anywhere the symbol of the Chinese Dream with all its challenges and contradictions, an Orwellian vision of a bright future caught up by a less flamboyant reality.

This is amazing. An entire city built with lofty goals but horrible planning, now deserted.

This scared me so bad I needed context and perspective. I needed to know what the hell was going on. And I have a feeling everyone feels the same way.

The woman heard talking is Lisa Mahone, with her boyfriend after being pulled over for not wearing seatbelts. Her two children were in the backseat, and it was her 14-year-old son, Joesph, who recorded the encounter on his phone.

According to the Hammond Police, one of the cops pulled a gun when Lisa’s boyfriend, Jamal, reached behind the console, “presumably to grab a weapon.”

Jamal refused to get out of the car because he “feared for his life” and would only crack the window a little bit in order to hand them the identification they asked for.

The family is suing for damages to the vehicle as well as malice and reckless force. The two children in the back seat were injured from the cop breaking the glass.

Nobody else was posting about the actual event, so here you go. Read the articles, watch the whole video. It’s important to understand everything that happened.
