The comparison between USA and China are not just tallest building. There still have more giant infastructures such like bridges, high speed rails, highways, ports, airports, tunnels, hydroelectric, metros, railway stations, space station etc.
The Ping An Building is the most aesthetic skyscraper on the video. It was originally supposed to have a 60m spire on top. But Shanghai petitioned Beijing to scrap it, because an upstart city like Shenzhen could never be allowed to eclipse Shanghai.
Ikr, people are worried about taller skycrapers in nyc, but technically there already are since the WTC's roof height is 1368 feet not 1776. And if One WTC is represents freedom and memorial, it shouldnt matter whether if a new US skyscraper surpass it's height or not.

Yesss.....USA is No. 1 and champion for Covid-19 cases and death. Congrats from the whole world for this rank. Job well done USA and hope you maintain the highest ranking Covid-19 cases until 2021 😁😁
Shanghai tower was designed by an American. So was the Burj Kahlifa was also designed by an American. So in some way America hasn't lost the skyscraper race yet. We still design the world's tallest skyscrapers for other countries.
It was designed by a team of experts lead by a CHINESE architect. That company has many offices. If it’s building in China it needs to use talent because Chinese people culturally require things to be done in accordance to our beliefs and preferences. I’m a designer and I’m Chinese I know that when foreigners don’t take into account culture things don’t work out. For high stakes investment you can’t be an amateur and risk it. Chinese firms are more than capable of doing this too. But this project was conceived way before our Chinese architects became more popular. MAD architects is Chinese and it’s considered one of the best in the world since the 2010’s.
Gosh , i prefer the skyscrapers of the USA from far. ..................................................... Also , i love your skyscraper videos . Continue with that !
I don't care about who wins but man in front of Shanghai New York doesn't stand a chance Shanghai is just way too much better and way more developed than new York my favorite city 🤩🇨🇳
To those of you who are Chinese and want to compare beyond the skyscraper, fine. America leads in space projects, has far more airports, has far fewer high speed rail lines (high speed rail = 3rd world; airports = 1st world), more bridges, a bigger economy, and higher technology, both for the civilian sector as well as the military. ... Not bad for a country having 1/5th the population of China...
It's nearly impossible to compare the two countries because they're very different, and the US is a liberal democracy. China functions like the world's largest prison. You should also take in consideration how many CCP trolls and government officials are commenting to boost interest in China as they reopen their economy. Competition in space and technology is the best result of Cold Wars superpower competition. If you're genuinely supportive of America, you shouldn't feel eager to see China fail. They are slowly become less communist, but it's still a centralized command economy that's planned by the government rather than the free market. Communism never works, and now that their double digit growth has begun to decline, there's going to be civil unrest. It's easy to keep the country unconcerned about freedom when the economy is growing, but now that it's slowing down, there will be more demands for freedom.
Stop comparing China and the USA China has four times the population than the USA and comparing their economies, amount of high rise buildings, length of railways etc does not make sense and is naive

2100 will be when plastic will be in every living creature on earth, causing mass extinction and poisioning. 50% of the worlds plastic was made in the last 13 years.
Wait till PNB 118 (644m) defeat the Shanghai Tower
Yeah but with 200m+ spire...Cheating don't you think.
@@dimsumden5745 yea lol
Wait a sec....the spire is only about 144 metres....U can check it at CTBUH.....even burj khalifa has an almost 200 metres spire... Please make a strong statement before claiming anything 😂lol
@@naelhaikal4566 644-144 = 500m is 132m shorter than Shanghai Tower.
@@dimsumden5745 still taller than Shanghai Tower....even with the spire...CTBUH count it as the part of the building too...even burj khalifa with the 200m+ spire is now the tallest building in the world..828-200=628...which is 4m shorter than Shanghai Tower..but why can it be the tallest building in the world???
Remember! Spire is also count as the part of the building...but not the antenna!!!
My favourite city new York from india
USA scycrapers considered tall because of their antennas haha...china is amazing compared to USA
Nothing amazing about repetitive glass skyscrapers, beauty over height anyday
Love China.
Big dreamers work harder:Top luxury one of them!
USA still the no. 1 Country in the world 💪💪💪👍🌍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeah no. 1 in whom add antennas to increase height
No dude.
USA lost that category Years ago
Yesss.....USA is No. 1 and champion for Covid-19 cases and death. Congrats from the whole world for this rank. Job well done USA and hope you maintain the highest ranking Covid-19 cases until 2021 😁😁
@@fadhilaziz9389 You champion people getting a virus and possibly dying? Good for you, sicko.
@@damianjf6357 the skiscrapers are only a simbol
Such a shame USA is really not the biggest and best at anything
Few countries can be compared to China, in terms of skyscraper. Chinese cities just love them so much. 💕
The class and unique style of US city skylines with supertall yet classic art deco design really draws me, but to each their own :D
In my fictional world, both countries have skyscrapers more higher than this
Shanghai tower was designed by an American. So was the Burj Kahlifa was also designed by an American. So in some way America hasn't lost the skyscraper race yet. We still design the world's tallest skyscrapers for other countries.
Ha ha. Burj khalifa was designed by South Korean company.
It was designed by a team of experts lead by a CHINESE architect. That company has many offices. If it’s building in China it needs to use talent because Chinese people culturally require things to be done in accordance to our beliefs and preferences. I’m a designer and I’m Chinese I know that when foreigners don’t take into account culture things don’t work out. For high stakes investment you can’t be an amateur and risk it. Chinese firms are more than capable of doing this too. But this project was conceived way before our Chinese architects became more popular. MAD architects is Chinese and it’s considered one of the best in the world since the 2010’s.
So? Even World Trade center is designed by Japanese architect minoru yamasaki
But my best is uae 🇦🇪 and Singapore 🇸🇬
Wow China’s tallest skyscraper is tall I went to there before
0:27 is in Brazil - Balneário Camboriú
Saludos brasileño
Gosh , i prefer the skyscrapers of the USA from far.
.....................................................
Also , i love your skyscraper videos . Continue with that !
I really do like One WTC for US and Shanghai Tower for China.
so US buildings´got 100 mts on antennas??? ... gurl you think we shtupid or whut ? 😂😂😂😂
I don't care about who wins but man in front of Shanghai New York doesn't stand a chance Shanghai is just way too much better and way more developed than new York my favorite city 🤩🇨🇳
I think China is already #1 in skyscrapers
China next level
New York
To those of you who are Chinese and want to compare beyond the skyscraper, fine. America leads in space projects, has far more airports, has far fewer high speed rail lines (high speed rail = 3rd world; airports = 1st world), more bridges, a bigger economy, and higher technology, both for the civilian sector as well as the military.
... Not bad for a country having 1/5th the population of China...
It's nearly impossible to compare the two countries because they're very different, and the US is a liberal democracy. China functions like the world's largest prison.
You should also take in consideration how many CCP trolls and government officials are commenting to boost interest in China as they reopen their economy.
Competition in space and technology is the best result of Cold Wars superpower competition. If you're genuinely supportive of America, you shouldn't feel eager to see China fail.
They are slowly become less communist, but it's still a centralized command economy that's planned by the government rather than the free market.
Communism never works, and now that their double digit growth has begun to decline, there's going to be civil unrest. It's easy to keep the country unconcerned about freedom when the economy is growing, but now that it's slowing down, there will be more demands for freedom.
Stop comparing China and the USA
China has four times the population than the USA and comparing their economies, amount of high rise buildings, length of railways etc does not make sense and is naive
In a post COVID world, will the boom continue?
in China and the USA it will continue, but China and the USA will never make them higher than 600m because they are useless and are just a symbol
The point is,it is built, the comparison is the beauty of it at night when it shine.
The 6th tallest building was completed in 2015.
3:05 random shot out Las Vegas window...
Lol, didn't notice before, but I don't think NYC is in sight of mountains...
