  1. well , they may have erected the exterior in that amount of time , but doubtful it was a fully functional building in that time frame .. easy to say it hard to prove it kinda thing,, its all semantics in how they framed the wording

    plus you have to account for the planing stage and component building stage of the project ,, all the steel and concrete etc didnt get built within that 19 day time frame , it took months to “supply” that project before it went to the building stage

    if what they are saying is we cant do that here in the USA, well they are wrong

  2. You would never get me to go into a building built like that. I bet the quality control was amazing.

  3. Now watch it fall down due to piss poor quality control.

    In any case, it doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen them build a train station the size of an airport with subway lines in less than 6 months. It takes us 2-3 years to make a highway that is only 5-10 miles long. It takes them 8 months to build a superhighway in Shanghai that’s 30-50 miles long. It’s insane.

    But again, you can imagine the piss poor quality control. However, the Chinese government has so much of our money over there, that they can afford to pay thousands of overpopulated Chinese people a huge amount of slave labor wages to build it non-stop, night and day for as long as they want.
