‘Rotten-tail buildings’: bad developers, red tape leave many Chinese homeless

Chinese homebuyers who fall afoul of broke developers and bureaucratic disinterest sometimes wait a decade to move into dream homes which often have no power, water or basic amenities.

Unfinished or ‘rotten-tail buildings’, as they are known in China, usually have no electricity, no running water, lifts that do not work and no sewage system
