So it wasn't BUILT in 15 days, just assembled
Event in the video, is showed that floors being pre-assembled and transported. To include the 'build' time, it should include the assembly process. Otherwise, it is just assembled in 15 days. Still a quik event.

30 floors in 15 days
Simply amazing. Although the complete time line is incorrect.. Clearly thousands of man hours went into the structure prior to arriving to the site, the point is that the design, engineering and organizational collaboration is flawless in order to achieve what they have done there.. It is a testament to what we humans can achieve when our vision and goals are in alignment.

China Achieves First Rate Status
China can no longer be thought of as a second rate country, as was true many years ago.

Unfortunately the US is headed in that direction fast.

This is a good example of how the Chinese are using their power and resources to make a positive mark on the world stage.

i can't imagine what 2 decades will bring
No kidding we are praying our way into a joke of a country. Still its not like we don't have smart people or capable companies its just that they tend to look outside for cutting edge implementation since so little real innovation is been implemented internally. I really though back in the early 90's we would have bullet trains criss crossing the US.

We need a few of these here in Christchurch, New Zealand to get the Red Zone open & operating again ASAP.. A great example of Chinas organizational & technical abilities.

excellent job in time
Let us see, in 10-20 years, what condition the structure and infrastructure is in, and then 50 years, when it is what we would consider an "old hi-rise building". This is not only an accomplisment of prefab building but also it is an experiment to check durability and longevity of the product, whether the experiment is intended or unintended.

Jobs
Mao did a great job liberating China from wage slavery and collectivizing Chinese labor. I still have my Little Red Book.
