the government start to gradually move people in

What does this mean? How can the government move people? If people want to go and live there, they will go. For a person to leave his family and job in Hong Kong or Shanghai and move to inner Mongolia, does the government give any incentive?

Think about Shenzhen, 30 years ago Shenzhen was a small fishing village, the government invest money to build facilities first and encourage people to move in, now Shenzhen has over 12 million population. Moving in means the government OKs and allows people to move in, of course you can refuse but many incentives and opportunities provided just make the offer irresistable, maybe encourge or allow are better words.

We have 1.4bil people man. Just offer them incentives, most of the people there are moving from the other smaller towns and older areas of Ordos.

When the west can no longer be able to build new modern beautiful cities, they smear China for building them all over.

ORDOS, China -- Kangbashi, a town in the middle of barren Inner Mongolia deserts, once found itself stuck with rows of newly built-but-vacant apartment buildings, earning a nationwide reputation as a "guicheng", or ghost town.

The first reports that labeled Ordos’ Kangbashi district a “ghost town” by an Al Jazeera reporter as well as a Time Magazine photographer delivered stories which highlighted the lack of people living in the new city, and in the process brought China’s ghost city phenomenon into global consciousness.

What this so called China's Largest Desert Ghost Town by western media looks now in 2021, check it out.

Any pics of their subway?

China builds differently from what the west does, China tends to find a big piece of land and then will do a complete comprehensive city plan, after that will build this area up complete complete with all city facilities, houses, roads, sewers, garbage disposal, schools ,hospitals, stadiums, museums, parks..... China believes it'll save a lot of unneccesory cost in building this way.

Only after everything is completed will the government start to gradually move people in, so in the first couples of years, these new development areas do look like "ghost towns", and they become the prime targets being used by western media to smear China.

Ordos was the capital city of Mongolian Empire long time ago, isn't it? in Genghis Khan era or something?
