This is just a planned city and it&#x27;s something that the U.S. has done quite a bit of, contrary to the post&#x27;s indication that the U.S. is incapable of such. Read up on Irvine, CA <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Irvine,_California" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Irvine,_California</a> See also the history of Sandy Springs Georgia (similar size to Jiaolong <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.huffpost.com&#x2F;entry&#x2F;sandy-springs-georgia-privatize-outsource_n_852466" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.huffpost.com&#x2F;entry&#x2F;sandy-springs-georgia-privati...</a> )<p>I&#x27;m glad to see these experiments, but it would have only taken 2 minutes of research to see there is nothing &quot;sovereign&quot; about Jiaolong, it&#x27;s a city in China governed by China.
