Office towers cannot be left to gather dust

A NEW seven-storey office building in Nanjing Chemical Industry Park in Jiangsu province, East China, remains unused even though it was completed four years ago. There are many developments in Nanjing that have remained unoccupied for many years. Beijing News commented on Wednesday:

People may wonder how many similar office buildings remain unused in the city?

An indisputable fact is that all the unoccupied buildings were constructed as "government buildings", which means they were built with public money. Inevitably this has caused serious damage to the public's interests. Idle office buildings, therefore, are a silent testimony to abuses of power.
