My immediate thought went to the Ryugyong hotel in North Korea. It was started in '87 and claimed it would be done by '89. After many delays and a claim that it was condemned, it sat dormant for 16 years before construction was resumed. Obviously the Chinese are better at this stuff than the N.Koreans, but their timeline does seem rather optimistic.

Starting point? Everything below grade complete? And concrete cured?
Only one crane? Wow.
Staging of elevators for workers and material.
Very little or no concrete used above grade?
Splicing of of data and power cables? Each floor? Access to splices?
104 elevators?
What percentage of floor area is consumed by services?(elevators, HVAC, plumbing, stairs...)
All Electric heat? $$$
Open areas without columns? The rooms are small, not to worry about sight lines?
Will be interesting to watch.

Since they built that hotel, the company has been perfecting their technology,
You mean it ain't been perfected yet and that first building was just a test????
Go figure, how many years did it take just to decide on what to build on Ground Zero........

This Chinese boasting is supposed to be impressive.
Instead, it’s just worrisome. No sane person would want to inhabit a titanic of a building built in rapid and slipshod fashion.
The massive corruption in the Chinese economy fuels projects like this: the corrupt loans that will never be paid back, the corrupt officials and contractors all in line for their take of the spoils.
The actual building is an afterthought, a byproduct and symbol of the corruption needed to build it. Anybody who would actually inhabit it is a fool, which is why so many of these buildings remain empty.
