That is a fantastic Skyline,
The Chinese have really taken to prestige architecture in recent years, I suppose to put one over on their Hong Kong dominion.
The Maglev train system is interesting too, 30kms, 267mph for $1.2bn. That is real strategic investment.
The Chinese are a scary bunch 7.9% growth last year in the year of a SARS epidemic that shut most of Asia for three months. It can’t all be based on cheap labour.
Shanghai really is the Skyline to watch over the next few years.
