In reading the comments it looks like I'm in the complete minority here, but I think this was impressive.

People are mentioning that there will possibly be problems with the hotel, or a story of how a similarly constructed hotel failed in one way or another.

However, once the company constructs 30 of these hotels all of these bugs will soon be worked out. It is the fast iteration and refining of the process that will eventually enable this company to create a building that is close in quality to what takes much longer to build in the US.

tldr; Construction companies in China are able to act web startups in the US. This will give them an advantage in the long term.



Building construction is one of the few industries that I do NOT want to ever act like a US web startup. Along with airplane construction and medical devices.
