Does China really have an "ecological" mega-city? Home of the Daoist Eight Immortals?

 The tragic events in Tianjin have fuelled rising public concerns about China’s environmental safety standards at a time when the government continues to proclaim its full commitment to embracing an “ecological civilisation” and create a “beautiful China”. China has built its megacities – now it’s time to make them liveable, and safe.

Was it really just a "salt pan" Wasteland before and now an eco-paradise? vid 

I corresponded today - and hopefully tomorrow - with a worker at the factory that makes the tents. So hopefully tomorrow I can complete the order. She said it was too late for her so she was going to sleep and would contact me tomorrow. I did not know that Tianjin is the third largest city in China - well I guess it's the fourth largest.

Genetic engineering is just a bad idea - no matter all the supposed "miracle cures." (pandemics)  - In Tiajin "a network of cameras monitors almost everything" - China's Eco-city. This Singapore News channel on Tiajin, the third largest city in China, as an "eco-city." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ojOzSikrm0 They use plastic cups to learn environmental lessons. Recycling gets "shopping credits" - that's pretty cool. A "Garden City" - almost 14 million people.

I've been communicating with a lady at a tent factory - to order direct - so the price is way less (half less). Human waste water is recycled for irrigation. A "smart city" and "eco city" are two sides of the same coin...

Supermarkets with NO workers. Facial Recognition Technology instead. China has been exporting that facial recognition security system big time - all over the world. No - an Eco-City is an Oxymoron. haha. Westernization of China has just been part of the Eco-Apocalypse. Ecological Civilization is a joke.

China gives out FREE chainsaws to Africans to rape the virgin equatorial rainforest. China is dependent on Cargill Monsanto Soybeans based on destruction of the Amazon and Pantanal (largest wetland in the world) - so China can eat more pork from the GE soybeans. Dr. Vandana Shiva is correct; MOnocultures of the Mind is real.
  Tianjin has a population of 14.7m people, and is the third-largest urban area in China after Beijing and Shanghai.

OK yet Guangzhou has a population of 13 million... so...it's closely behind Tianjin. While Beijing (over 21 million) and Shanghai (over 24 million) are almost TWICE as big as the third and fourth place cities in China...

 New York City is over 8 million people - so only a third of the size of Shanghai. But New York is very densely populated. I suppose Shanghai is probably even more densely populated...

Tianjin is Tientsin, as famous as shanghai during 20th century to represent the modern China to the west.

Ah so it is considered very "Occidental" as a city. Yes but wasn't Canton as well (Guangzhou)?

Tianjin has two Urban core. Most jobs in the suburbs. Morning and night is crowded. But most time it will be good

So Tianjin is not as densely populated as Shanghai or Beijing - and has almost half as less people - but still way more than New York City. So it's more like Los Angeles but twice as big?

 An apartment in Tianjin is $300 to $450 dollars US per month.

Last time I rented an apartment in Minneapolis - it was actually just a flop house room - and I paid $300 a month - it went up to $325 a month I think. That was the cheapest I could find in around 2002. And so I stayed there for seven years.

It is a very big project, thus the challenge is how to get enough companies and people into the place to turn it into a city...currently, it is only 20% occupied. Development is not merely about infrastructure and having buildings cause currently in China there are many ghost cities which failed to atrract the people to stay there...

 A different Westerner tour of Tianjin - she says it's the 5th largest city in the world so why has hardly anyone heard of it? vid

 Well - good question. Maybe because of lack of free speech? Canned culture?
