Do such things happen out of China?  | | I used to work in a state-owned enterprise in China. The company's office buiding is very luxury inside and outside. But I always felt the main building looked not assort with the affiliated buiding. Such feeling confused me for a long time until one day one of my colleague told me the truth.
when the office building is under construction, not far away from it, another office building belonged to the city government is under construction too. The desighed floor height of the company's building is 21 and 17 for the government's. It was said that the government ordered the company to decrease their floors. Thus the reason is very simple: the office building is 4 floors lower than it is supposed to be.
Amazing? But I think such things really could happen in China and maybe happening everyday and everywhere indeed.
Why the company's building could not be higher than the government's?
The male monkeys flaunt their penises to attracted female and threaten male. Although civilized mankind could not be so barbaric, they build skyscraper instead. For the building is only a signal here, so we can understand why the government gave such an order to some extent. How dare you be higher (or longer) than the Chinese government? It's the NO.1 in the world even they are brute and only brute in the world.
Now the only problem that still confused me is: do such things happen out of China, for example, in USA?

| angeloyan (25) | 1 year ago | In China there also no official rules stating no buildings can be higher than a government building. But some of the officials often do somthing ridiculous. I think this maybe a particular case, but it will never be the only one. China is a very interesting country. Anything impossible could happen here.

xfahctor (5516) | 1 year ago | I'm sure here at the local level in isolated cases, there may be a little back room hand washing on different things, politics are politics no matter where you live and as one person was once quoted as saying, "all politics are local". And yes, china is in fact a very interesting country, amazingly rich in culture and history.
