Meanwhile, China is building the world's highest bridge

[0rganism]

While Americans fritter away our civil rights and threaten the world with trade wars, China has some other stuff going on:

They're turning the bridge into a tourist attraction and putting a bungie jump station in the center of the span.

1. My wish is for President Xi

to invite Trump over there to jump off it.

2. How the heck to they string the first cable between the two tower supports?

I know, once that first cable is up, they use a spinning machine to string the rest.

In this case, they had to have used a helicopter to get the first cable across, no?

3. Wow!

Fascinating, but terrifying.

4. Will this be another tofu-dreg project?

6. Not a plus, they often spend money on flex instead of the people

7. Just amazing. I didn't think I had a fear of heights, but after watching this I'm not so sure anymore.

You couldn’t pay me any sum of money to bungee jump from 2,000 ft. Never. I might even be hesitant to even drive or walk across it. Gulp.
What’s also incredible is how fast the Chinese government have developed that backwater providence. What’s also extraordinary is that China has been engaged in that level of new infrastructure and modernization all over their country. Makes our present infrastructure projects and improvements seem kind of feeble in comparison.

8. Wow!! Amazing what China has done to all their infrastructure. But this bridge is something else.

Even restaurants with glass ceilings under the roadways.
