Clay mentioned that there were satellite towns outside of Shanghai that were themed according to Western cities. This is amazing to me! I think the interest in the West is a bit strange, but I guess this is the effects of imperialism. I wonder who can afford to live in these satellite cities and how they are advertised in China? Who is investing in the creation of these cities and what is their vision? I also wonder how many foreigners from the original cities visit these places and how they feel about these satellite cities? If you are interested in a visual tour, here’s a link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/14/fake-english-town-in-china_n_3907820.html
