It would be nice if you could still tell in which continent you are by just looking at the skylines in 50 years.

what exactly do you consider chinese architecture?
what is western traditional architecture?
maybe western skyscrapers should have greek collumns, or look like gothic cathedrals?
comtemporary architecture is comtemporary architecture, and you can hardly distinguish between american, british, french, russian, german, canadian and spanish skyscrapers.
Anyway I think Taipei 101 and that Shanghai tower which I just forgot the name reflect more chinese traditional architecture than any skyscraper the west has built in the last 50 years reflect western traditional architecture.
