Ranked: The Cities with the Most Skyscrapers In The World, China beats the rest of the world combined

[Menthol]

This actually saves China millions of Watts annually not having to machine dry their clothes.

Definitely yes.

Eventually it will happen.

As modern culture in China keeps advancing, there will be more and more regulations.

By 2050, Chinese cities will be beautiful, down to small details.

By 2100, it's no longer a human city, but the city of gods.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Definitely yes.

His dryer is an empty argument. You could claim the same thing about cars, hair dryers, A/C units, and other consumer electrical devices. BTW the dryer I have is natural gas not electric.

Eventually it will happen.

Yes, just like central air conditioning. The reason you see ugly stuff like this:

on buildings in China (and much of the world)

and ugly this:

in old US cites like NYC

Is because central air conditioning hadn't taken hold.

When it does the above ugly things go away and maybe other things like dryers become common.

As modern culture in China keeps advancing, there will be more and more regulations.

..and building designs along with apartment layouts will change

By 2050, Chinese cities will be beautiful, down to small details.

By 2100, it's no longer a human city, but the city of gods.

We don't know...suburbanization may kick in as the Chinese (like Americans) come to realize their true "roots" were in traditional style homes and they now have the know-how to add every possible modern amenity into them instead of living in the dense steel and glass cities made popular by Westerners.

For the moment hanging clothes next to the window to dry is a lot more healthy than leaving them in the bathroom to dry which a lot of Japanese do. The sunlight dries the clothes much faster.

A lot of Japanese also put a dehumidifier into their bathroom for the sole purpose of helping clothes to dry. In Japan electricity is scarce which is why they resort to using low power dehumidifier instead of full blast machine dryer.

Can you imagine trying to machine dry clothes on the scale of China's population? It's a disaster waiting to happen... Japan can't even do it with a population of 100 million (in Japan a machine dryer is something most ppl never even heard of nor seen)!

Especially things that are high profile and will last a long long time.

Can you imagine the US public's reaction if the Empire State Building was designed by Nazis, the Sears Tower by Iranians, and the World Trade Center by Russians.

We have to stay on good terms with France since the Statue of Liberty is 100% by them.
Don't need a public outcry one day to have it torn down.

Many American's building are designed by the people around the world.
The iconic U.S. Capitol is instantly recognizable, but did you know that the unique dome was the work of German American architects August G. Schoenborn and Thomas U.

Sorry..digging deep...but still failing on some

Thomas Ustick Walter - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Born in 1804 in Philadelphia, Walter was the son of mason and bricklayer Joseph S. Walter and his wife Deborah

Schoenborn emigrated at the age of 22

August Schoenborn - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

He was born in October 1827 in the town of Suhl, Germany,[2] a major arms manufacturing center....He emigrated to the United States in 1849 and settled in Wisconsin.

I. M. Pei fled China when he 18 and never looked back

I. M. Pei - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

leoh Ming Pei FAIA RIBA[2] (/ˌjoʊ mɪŋ ˈpeɪ/ YOH ming PAY;[3][4] Chinese: 貝聿銘; pinyin: Bèi Yùmíng; April 26, 1917 – May 16, 2019) was a Chinese-American architect. Born in Guangzhou into a Chinese family, Pei drew inspiration at an early age from the garden villas at Suzhou, the traditional retreat of the scholar-gentry to which his family belonged. In 1935, he moved to the United States

Nationality	American

Your only solid example after probably hours of research is a new 50 story building in NYC designed by a Russian company.

Plus oddly with all the skyscrapers you have built in China only 2 are taller than One World Trade Center in NYC.

Can you imagine trying to machine dry clothes on the scale of China's population? It's a disaster waiting to happen...

But somehow charging all those EVs is fine...

Chinese EV car sales exceed 50% for the first time ever

The trend will likely be maintained throughout 2024.

I also think it is exponentially more likely a Chinese family would have more than one car vs ever having more than one clothes dryer. I bet the number of families in the US with more than one clothes dryer is probably less than 1%...while having more than one EV is far higher.

lol, our Great Wall and The foridden city were not designed by foreigners, why are you surprised of some modern random skyscrapers designed by foreigners? it's very common everywhere in the world. Your whole country of US was designed by foreingers.

NO, maybe an hour for you but only 5 minutes search then prove you are an idiot Who only like to troll every Chinese tread.

I'm actually not surprised the tallest skyscrapers people pose in front of for pictures in China were designed by US companies.

However I think most PDF members would be surprised.

I think they would also be surprised if somehow the tallest buildings in the US like the Empire State Building was designed by a Nazi company, the Sears tower by an Iranian company, and One World Trade Center by a Russian company.

Tallest changes every year, they are nothing in the Chinese history and culture, well the iconic building in US was actually made and designed by the French, it's like icon constructions like the forbiden city and the Great Wall in China were built by foreigners, what a joke.

This American guy is so funny, more just green with envy, it's like asking that why many big American companies have Indians as their CEOs and why Americans can't run their own companies. it's because these American designers and Indian CEOs are cheap laborers.

LOL! Here comes the weak rationalizations....you know some people with roots in India, Pakistan, and China are Americans too...

Your innate Xenophobia would love to scream white racism and invisible glass ceilings if only Europeans were in high spots...but you can't.

Start listing these "foreigners" (that's non-US citizens) running all of our companies...

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

we are all waiting...I'm sure you won't find many....still waiting....

Ask Indians, they always brag about them, we Chinese don't really care. Just mentioning that to show how dumb your remarks in this thread are.
