HONG KONG — The world’s highest bridge opened in China on Sunday, taking the crown from another bridge in the same province.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge soars about 2,050 feet above a river and gorge in the southern Chinese province of Guizhou. It is more than twice as high as the Royal Gorge Bridge, which is suspended 956 feet above the Arkansas River in Colorado and is the highest in the United States. ...

The mega project, constructed over three years and eight months, will cut travel time between the two sides of the canyon from two hours to two minutes and connect major tourist spots, officials said. ...

The bridge has a high-speed glass elevator that can send visitors to a coffee spot 2,600 feet above the river. Visitors can also try bungee jumping or a 1,900-foot-high glass walkway. ...

It's amazing what you can achieve with a little slave labor and with money you got from murdering Uyghur Muslims for their valuable organs. The CCP knows how to get it done!

I've watched too many episodes of Engineering Catastrophes on the Science Channel, because that was my first thought.

Jokes about "how long it will stay up aside", that's quite impressive.
Particularly the restaurant way WAY up at the top.

Remember jokes about the quality of things that came from Japan when we were kids?
Methinks the Chinese are learning, as did the Japanese and Koreans before them.
And probably at a rate that -- when compared to the quality of youth the public schools HERE are churning out -- puts us to shame...
