More power to them! No doubt this building won’t be designed by a committee representing disenfranchised interest groups, in partnership with 100s of regulatory agencies, held hostage by the AFL-CIO, boycotted by PITA, occupied by OWS, nitpicked by the ADA, agitated by the SEIU, stonewalled by the Endangered Species Act, sued by the ACLU, and constructed with a freak’n mosque at the bottom.

Despite China’s political defects, this demonstrates what can be created by fixing our own.

Just like the bridge that was to take 3 years to build and it was done in 18 months. Then it fell over in 9 months after it was open.

Just how was the Island dispute with Japan ended. The new iPhone needed to be made so, they did not have time to riots. Now go build some big round something and towers to the sky so, not to riot.

Great post. The bloomberg.com article is worth reading all the way through. Anybody still want to hold China up as an example? /gag

But will it last 90 days after it is built?

Not if the Islamokazis have anything to say about it.

I actually saw the building pictured at the top of the article the day after it happened. It was on the road to our offices. I’ve heard that the smallish company that manufactured the windows saw a huge increase in sales because many of them actually remained intact.

There is no way in hell such a building wouldn’t collapse within a month.

I’m going to keep this comment on file, as you should as well.

Didn’t you once predict, about a year ago I think, that the PRC would be invading Taiwan this year? Time’s not quite up yet of course, but I wonder if you’re still sticking with that?

The ChiComs aren’t even particularly adept engineers, just good imitators.

But they do have a billion plus in slave commie labor. I guess they could build a pyramid to the moon with that if they wanted to spend 1,000 years working on it.
