It's... Tall
Add up:
- Taiwan building standards
- The island's location in an earthquake zone
- The world's tallest skyscraper
Point of national pride, or disaster waiting to happen? You decide. It won't even be the world's tallest building for all that long, as the Shanghai World Financial Center is due to take over that title in 2004. Taiwan getting overshadowed by the mainland? Seems to be the standard story lately.
