China to build fake Burj Khalifa, Zhangfei insists it'll be better than the original

China plans on building a $1.3 billion luxury hotel modeled on the Burj Khalifa, according to Arabian Business.
Officials said yesterday they have already completed planning for the seven-star hotel, which will be situated near Beijing's Tianamen Square. No word yet on the planned completion date or total height.
Quote:

Wang Hongzhong, chief official of the Mentougou district, where the project is based, said that it had been designed as a “streamlined building like the Khalifa Tower in Dubai”.

The hotel will be situated at the end of Chang An avenue, which runs across the Chinese capital’s Tiananmen Square.

he's an rs member that makes 'fail' posts most of the time but i dont see him on this thread. maybe op and zhangfei think alike but didnt want to admit his opinion on it :) :troll: sorta

El Bastardo 01-07-2011 12:18 PM

Zhangfei believes that everything China touches is gold. Despite this new tower being a fake or an imitation I expect him to say things like "China will learn from the mistakes made by the Burj Khalifa and make a better tower" or similar pro-China jingoistic bullshit.

Jayhall 01-07-2011 12:29 PM

if its so great why does he not live there? Or does he?

i used to think china was fail, until i went there. china is not fail. china is raw wild power. everything the west sees in the news or hears about china is all the bad shit, wait till you see the good shit, they're going to stomp the western world soon. and i aint exaggerating, it's scary what they can do.

if china is fail, then canada is fail x2. shit, i think im a red commie now.

if anyone can do it, it's the chinese. im almost scared they're going to take over the world. but then there will be more hot chinese bitches to fuck, so it might be a fair trade. and i pass as chinese, so i can play both teams, fuck yea.

if china announces that they're going to build something awesome they will; Its a matter of face. They'll throw every bit of money at it every expert (from around the world), grunt at it and every unwilling resident out of the area.


besides if you watch those national geographic shows about the construction of those monstrosities in UAE some chinese experts and many chinese workers were involved

The great thing about a dictatorship that China is is their unparalleled efficiency. When something needs to get done, it gets done.

Thing is blueprints for this design already exist so I believe architecture fees are minimal. What it seems to me is that China uses a lot of what already exists and tries to enhance on it, a lot cheaper and safer than being creative, innovative, and original. Just look at Byd.

i feel quite the opposite...and japan does it 100x better. I guess you can't compare the two as the latter didn't go through a cultural revolution and wiped out a good chunk of its antiques.

StylinRed 01-07-2011 10:32 PM

well the push to become western back in the 1800s? wiped out a lot of stuff too (in japan) but yeah not exactly the same :)
