I think some minds have been conditioned to look for the negative in anything coming from any Indian.

Bullsht, you know exactly what the OP's intentions are. Stop being facetious.

You and your vagaries... pray tell what is this ominous "less charitable reason" that you're speculating about.

Local reasons, not anything sinister!

You need more details that that?

What do you have besides another vague answer?

Even you can see how subjective that is!

"Intentions"! You may go looking for it all you want. I don't know it, you don't know it and it doesn't matter.

Well, as far as I know, the local political leaderships in China make some decisions that are not really based on sound economic factors or demand and supply. There have been several instance that I have read about, including forcing people to buy a certain brand of cigarettes in a specified quantity, drinking a particular brand of alcohol and some other similar stuff.

I am not trying to find anything negative, just being factual. China is trying to marry political communism with economic capitalism and there will be contradictions there.

You can look for all my "intentions" you want. I frankly couldn't care less.

Some people may manage to convince themselves otherwise.

They are free to think what they want. But attempting to convince those on the other side, will most likely be a lost cause.

I knew just from the title this article is going to talk either about Ordos or South China Mall.

You are right, it will be a lost cause and at least I will not even try.

People realize with time the need to keep perspective. Especially on an anonymous forum.
