    The Petronas Towers are my favorite in terms of design. The Shanghai Tower is my favorite conceptually. The Willis Tower was the most influential in my life. As a 10 year old I remember my family driving past this tower under construction late at night and seeing the construction lights on every floor glittering up to the clouds. That vision sealed my fate as an aspiring architect. My least favorite tower is the Freedom Tower. Imagine my disappointment as an architecture school student when I first saw the design unveiled. I remembered back to an architecture journal in the library that contained a picture of a new tower that Harry Weese had designed. The Freedom Tower is a copy of the shape of Harry Weese's building. Plagiarism which was anathema to budding architects was alive and well and celebrated.

      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. What should matter is that we either don't forget 9/11 or forget it's original business roots before 9/11.

    Number 7. I was born and raised on Chicago's South Side and I still call it the Sears Tower in the Chicago spirit. In fact, even after the Pretonas Towers were completed, I refused to believe Chicago was no longer home to the world's tallest building. It wasn't until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004 that I finally admitted defeat.

      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.

      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.
