China erects 30 story hotel in 15 days

[ekrem]

Everything that China built in its drive of development doesn't have to shy away from America's infrastructure. I bet it's even better.

Posting a picture of a crashed train is just serving cliches.

That's the terrace.

They built a wall that stood for some time

Didn't work as intended though.

Yes it did.....it still attracts tourists

it was designed to keep out tourists, like manchu and mongols. and it worked quite well, until it didn't.

Obviously, that was not the intended function of the wall.

No, even then they knew the wall was a great way to attract round eyes

Way to throw in some ignorant nonsense with racial undertones, asshole.

Liberals are not well known for respect for the dead.

The "look how fast we can do it!" train kills the few who can afford to ride it, but the truly advanced high speed rail system in Japan survives the worst earthquake in 1000 years without loss of life.


As for the US, high speed rail is not for us - not for now.

See what's possible with no unions and no bureaucracies......

So you want to be more like the China?

 

[Truthseeker420]

and then it will go down in 15 minutes during a 5.0 earthquake

They are going to fill it up with Americans and hope for the best.

I don't want to see the USA be more like China, if being more like China means erecting hotels as ugly as the one that China erected in 15 days. Several office buildings are currently being erected in Baltimore. It's taking them a heck of a lot longer to construct them than 15 days, but the building's architectural designs incorporate complex utilizations of glass, concrete, and steel. It would be impossible to construct buildings such as these utilizing uniform standardized prefabricated modules, as the Chinese utilized with their rapidly erected hotel.

China's 'amazing' construction of a 30-story building in 360 hours - The Week

Amazing efficiency of design

And being able to bribe regulatory officials to stay out of your way.

 

[Unkotare]

You don't do any kind of business in China without bribing somebody.
