China builds a new skyscraper every five days

The scale of urban development in mainland China has reached a pace where a new skyscraper is completed, on average, every five days. This rapid construction is part of a broader effort to establish mega-cities almost overnight, turning once-quiet regions into ultra-modern hubs. Today, nearly half of the twenty tallest buildings on Earth are located within China, as provincial cities strive to match the architectural prestige of global financial centers like Shanghai and Beijing.
