When I lived in the former Soviet block we used to have a nice propaganda machine churning similar facts. We also had parts of the capital that were to "showcase" our great progress.

I even met an older American from Texas who wanted to invest in our fledging biotech industry based on a day trip he took around our "factories"...

When the tide recedes we'll see who was swimming naked... My bet is it will be a Chinese grad student with parents that robbed billions so they can buy his way into a prestigious US university and get themselves a Singapore citizenship as well.
