The WTC project team has a lot of money in its hands, but at the moment it seems a bit lost. There is a need for a qualitative breakthrough.
My personal opinion on the communication of the project is that there is a bigger picture that we're not seeing and the Chinese govt is trying to keep things quiet until everything is in place.
Here is a great write up that puts the project into perspective
