  1. I just did a little search, looks like all longest bridges are in China now:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_bridges_in_the_world

    Then I read an article yesterday, Top 5 airports in the world, China got 3 (Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai).

    I thought this was fake, but I think it is real now:

    Level 9 Earthquake Resistance: diagonal bracing structure, light weight,
    steel construction, passed level 9 earthquake resistance testing
    6x Less Material: even though the construction materials are much
    lighter(250kg/m2) than the traditional materials(over 1500kg/m2), the floors
    and walls are solid with surefootedness, airtight and sound-proofing
    5x Energy Efficient: 150mm thermal insulation for walls and roofs, triple
    glazed plastic windows, external solar shading, heat insulation, fresh
    air heat recovery, LED lighting, yearly HAVC A/C energy consumption
    equivalent to 7 liters oil.
    20x Purification: after 3 levels of purification, the purification efficiency
    for fresh air reaches 95%-99.9%; air exchanged 1-2.5 times per hour, and
    indoor air is 20x cleaner than out door air
    1% Construction Waste: all components are factory made, construction
    waste, mainly package materials, result from on site set-up only and
    amount to 1% of the total weight of the building.
    This is the first building in human history which combines almost all
    environmental friendly, comfortable and secure elements. So, we call it:
    Sustainable Building"
     
  2. It is too bad that all of the best companies and minds of the world can't amiably come together to selflessly solve the largest of problems.
