Zhouran Central News Agency 3/27/XX Zhouran To Provide Assistance With New Clark City Ministry of External Affairs announces Zhouranese financial Top: Cities in Zhouran such as Kuizhou are described as The Ministry of External Affairs has announced that financial and construction assistance to New Clark City of the Philippines will be provided, a spokesperson stated. The spokesperson added that raw material and heavy machinery will be provided while engineers will be sent to act as construction advisers. Expected to be completed in 25 to 30 years time, Philippine officials state that New Clark City will promote healthy, eco-friendly, sustainable living and will also reduce pressure off Manila, the capital of the Philippines and one of the world's most densest cities. While the outlook for New Clark City in the Philippines remains optimistic, not everyone holds the same view. Dr Laisunren Jiasen from Ashike University remains highly skeptical on New Clark City, even if the city was to be built with Zhouranese assistance. "Sure, the city sounds nice in paper, but in reality the Philippines lacks the capability to construct a city based on first-world standards" he stated during an interview. Dr Laisunren also added "the Philippines has a high level of political corruption, a large percentage of their total population still live in third-world standards, they have a massive infrastructure gap, and the nation would have to leech off of foreign aid and investments just for the construction of a single model city in a third-world country with up to a hundred million people and growing". When asked if Zhouranese financial and construction assistance will reduce the stress on building NCC, Dr Laisunren replied "no, it would take several wealthy nations such as Zhouran to invest in a Philippine pet project and provide assistance in the construction of the city". He also stated that by the time New Clark City is finished, large metropolitan areas such as Zhouran's Hexie or Japan's Tokyo would be "in the future" while NCC would be "stuck in the past".
