Entry Description

This project documents the changing of China's cities carved by over 30 years of economic growth in excess of 10% annually. It shows capitalism, consumerism, construction, and anything but communism even though the country still carries a communist label. This is "New Wine, Old Label" or "Capitalism in Communists' Clothings".
