The problem with China's economic strategy is that they keep building stuff with their own taxpayer money to "keep jobs" and to "increase the GDP", which makes it look like the economy is going well. But this can only last for a while before the economy collapses on itself, because they can't keep spending with no real returns.

This is why giving people Government jobs to solve the "unemployment" problem is only going to work in the short term at most, if at all. There are 3 problems with this:

1) These are not very productive jobs, they are wasteful, and only exist to keep some people employed

2) You're transferring money from some people to keep others employed, on their own money, with no real economic benefit for them

3) The money could be used for much more productive jobs or investments
