China just opened the world's tallest bridge. Check it out.
China officially opens the world’s tallest bridge, completing the project in under 4 years. The bridge features a restaurant at the top, a whopping 2600 ft above the river. The bridge not only cuts a 2-hour drive to 2 minutes, but also features as a theme park with a glass skywalk, a high-speed glass elevator, and a waterfall off the edge of the bridge. Visitors can also bungee jump off of it.The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is 2050 feet above the river and spans 4600 feet over the river.

Cue the Sinophobia. I have been to China a dozen times in the last 20 years. Their progress is remarkable. Chongqing is the most incredible city in the world. They surpassed us an decade ago.
We are fighting each other and throwing productive people out while serving the rich and old
All built with slave labor. Prove me wrong!
We built a bridge in the US in the 1930’s that stands the test of time. It took them this long to “copy” it? You all can be impressed but they have no value of human life and they will not divulge the human cost this project took.
Can we get a volume warning?
They may even lower their standards, and let you move there, if you ask nicely.
How are things in Minnesota, Governor Walz?
"They surpassed us an decade ago."
Try six decades ago.
Stupid yankee pig you have no bridge like this.
As impressive as this is, I will not be eating at the restaurant because I will be driving the 2 hour route for my personal mental well being.
@11:37 AM, so you consider yourself an authority?
China doesn’t have a Jackson, St. Louis, Baltimore, or Memphis, etc. This means they have no soul. No style. They will never be cool.
@6:14 Six decades ago they were all still riding bicycles
Six decades ago they built an atom bomb without the help of German scientists. No help from the Soviets either because their domestic A-bomb caused the Sino-Soviet split.

On October 16, 1964, the People's Republic of China conducted its first successful atomic bomb test, making it the fifth nation globally to develop nuclear weapons. China's nuclear weapons program began in the early 1950s with significant support from the Soviet Union, which provided assistance in exchange for uranium.
So, they did get help from the Soviets.
Google cities in China where no one lives. Bad planning!
@5:56 you dont even know how to make a proper hyperlink. You are wrong.
I've also been to China many times as one of my factories is there. The people are great and there are many, many cities the size of US cities that most have never heard of. But, a lot of the technology that they utilize is from the West -- that was the whole issue that started the tariffs: The Made in China 2025 initiative.
Wow! That is an amazing feat! This dumbass old country boy thought that the Huey Long Bridge just outside of New Orleans was the tallest bridge. If you’ve ever been on it - prior to the expansion and modernization - you would think so!
Sound's like they're exceptional thiefs....Hans Gruber would be impressed.
I have never understood why people are fighting each other and throwing hate just to keep someone elected to office. If politicians really cared about America and its citizens, they would pass the torch rather than stay in office until they die.
One trip to China is all it takes to see that have already lost. They are unified in their ethnicity, culture, and national identity.
As for the ghost cities, that was backwater local governments over-developing in the hopes that “if we build it, they will come”
And another issue is the “tofu dreg” projects of housing and other infrastructure that is not built to specification. These are also typically caused by corruption between contractors and backwater, local governments.
Those Muslim slaves in China (Uyghurs, ethnic Hui, ethnic Kazakhs, ethnic Kyrgyz, ethnic Tajiks, and ethnic Uzbeks) do great work.
Incredible feats of engineering like this bridge used to be the sole province of the United States. Not any longer.
