Not really.

Look at quality not quantity and I think you'll find better buildings being built elsewhere.

Don't have some childish vendetta because other nations will break 2000ft first or because they're winning some international height pissing contest. Each nation should be allowed to develop to the best of its ability.

Those have steel superstructures, elevators, rentable space, utilities, and plumbing?

When someone says 'America created the skyscraper' it does NOT mean 'America made the first tall building,' it means, 'America built the first modern tall building,' as in having all the of the aforementioned qualities.

This has got to be the tallest concrete building ever with no glass beating out the Ryugyong Hotel 50 meters ago
Where's the friggin' glass?!
