    They should make a building shaped like beer twice as tall next to it to see if they can beat Dubai. :P

    @ILoveGoodFellas There is a lot more work to do after constructing the floors.
    Windows, wiring, decorating, furnishing etc.
    They did it well.

    @bombarderoazul 13 лет назад

    @blackflag1217 Yes but in the last ten years they have taken more people out of poverty than the entire population of the USA. Look at what China was 20 years ago, and what they are now. Poverty was 85% in 1981 and in 2005 it was 16% i find that amazing.

    • @111danish111
      @111danish111 7 лет назад

    • @ontheground4592
      @ontheground4592 6 лет назад

      Well, yeah. It used to be 3rd tallest building in the world (now 9th tallest building in the world) and tallest building/structure in China. Shanghai Tower is now the tallest building in China and the 2nd tallest building in the world.

    I sure hope this building isn't made of structural steel and re-enfored concrete. If it ever catches on fire, it might fall down like the WTC on 911.
