Zhang Yue, the owner of the developer, Broad Group indicated, Sky City will use only foreign steel for the sake of safety. This claim is yet another blow to the already struggling steel industry in China. The following is our report. On August 1, Broad Group president Zhang Yue said, Sky City will use hundreds of thousands of tones of steel from the technically advanced country, Luxembourg. The cost will be very high in both tariffs and transportation. Even though it's not environmentally ideal to transport this much steel, more than 20,000 km, he believes safety is the priority. Unirule Institute of economics deputy director Feng Xingyuan: "With the guaranteed best quality, he is building the credit for his construction. It is publicity for his construction." Deputy secretary general of China Steel Industry Association, Qi Xiangdong, questioned Broad Group's decision and claimed, "Home-made steel should be qualified for construction." He demanded an answer from Broad Group why domestic steel is not adequate. Feng Xingyuan: "He was wrong. Purchasing foreign steel will actually stimulate more buying power from foreign countries. We should do more foreign purchases with our large reserves." Hong Kong based South China Morning Post reported an expert's analysis, "Domestic steel meets general needs in building construction, except for a few special uses that demands extremely high robustness or other such special properties." Taiyuan University of Technology professor Wu Gang: "The specified strength of the steel can be standardized according to index. The quality can be achieved through test and comparison. Domestic steel still lacks such specificity." Chinese steel industry is criticized, believed to be lacking in such high tech to satisfy the need of a tower construction. China's steel industry, has for nearly three years, been through serious losses, especially in the case of many bankruptcies. China issue researcher Gong Shengli: "China's higher end steel definitely could not meet the highest standard. As an example, take a second-hand aircraft carrier in today's China, China could not even make the decks for the carrier." China's Sky City is said to stand in the city of Changsha, Huanan, being 10 meters higher than Dubai's Burj Khalifa. The Broad Group estimated the tower will only take a record breaking 7 months to complete with prefabricating techniques. Sky City groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 20. Ever since, it has been highly criticized for safety, environmental issues, capital chain, marketing, building permission, and so forth. Gong Shengli: "There are places in China now becoming either ghost towns or dying a death." Chinese media reported that Sky City is located at a remote area of Changsha city, outside of the business, political and cultural center. According to local integration policy, Changsha development will focus towards the South. Sky City, scheduled in the Northwest of Changsha, is not a part of the local development policy. Facing much criticism, Broad Group responded on July 30 that Sky City has passed assessments of environment, traffic, & safety. With pending construction planning permits, it has obtained land permits and many other necessary documents. On August 3, Shanghai Tower, China's tallest building was installing its final beam. This 632 meter tall building will not be ready to use until 2015. 《神韵》2013世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
