It's more like to perpetuate the artificial bubble they have to keep the construction up.
That work force must also remain employed or the economy will suffer horribly. Think Roosevelt's answer to the depression made even worse by Communism's lack of realistic valuation and the folly of fiat currency all rolled into one.
When their bubble does burst it will either be great for us(cheap labor gets cheaper) or horrible(no one to back our currency through massive bond buying).
