Hmm, on one hand, I am shocked at the speed. On the other hand, is that too fast? Is it stable and secure? hmm.

Wow. It takes that long just to get an inspector out here.

Probably done to prove that they can

Sure it must be stable - Prefabricated steel structure..

As long as they planned it ahead, it will be secure - must have done the foundation ahead as well

China is way ahead of what we can think
They came out of the closet this decade as a shocker to the western world.

The country has just everything to make it super power without being dependent on other nations (except few)
The biggest army, most populated, one of the largest land area, good economy (debatable), natural resources, advance technology to name few..

They can do it, is waht i know..


6 days .... WOW

The reality is they are pre fab/pre built units. It took considerably more time to construct all of these components off site at the fabrication facility.

All the components are delivered to the building site (which also took quite sometime to prep and make to withstand a Magnitude 9 earthquake).

So the six days is quite an exaggeration.

On the other hand, the logistics of getting all the components to site and then erected in 6 days is still quite impressive.

Still God holds the record: an entire universe in 6 days

Great, but I won't be visiting. I don't travel to totalitarian states.
