If I lived there there would BE not late night parties

I think its a great idea even though it may sadly have some engineering flaws.

Looks kinda cool.

Maybe newer buildings can be designed to safely integrate that look into their construction.

It looks like Godzilla took a dump on that building. (Yes, I know the difference between Japan and China).

We're rapidly heading into the same situation, where there exist two parallel legal systems, one for the hoi polloi, and one for the nomenklatura.

“The villa’s owner has been identified as the head of a traditional Chinese medicine business and former member of the district’s political advisory body who resides on the building’s 26th floor.”

Translation - the villa’s owner gets away with it - obtains all the political protection he needs - because he’s a long-time loyal member of the ruling party of rhe dictatorship, and use to hold official party posts himself.
