China building big things
Businessweek Online notes that China is not only in a building boom, but in an architectural golden age:
The article notes that the boom is occurring virtually everywhere, and then goes on to contradict itself:
Still, it’s Beijing and Shanghai, the nation’s most populous cities, that are attracting the most attention. The roster of talent hired to complete projects in these two megacities reads like a Who’s Who of star architects: Holland’s Rem Koolhaas, Switzerland’s Herzog & de Meuron, and Britain’s Foster & Partners are all completing buildings scheduled to debut by the time the Olympic torch is lit.
Oh well–China is growing in a blaze of pretty buildings.

**** the chinese. They’re everywhere like cockroaches 1.3 billion of them. Building China Towns in every city around the world. They should be exterminated with pesticides and stepped upon. Sneakly taking over weaker countries like Tibet and East Turkestan (Xinjiang) what’s next? **** the chinese.
