Looks like a weird combination but it is unintended.

On my way to the Mofcom meeting I passed the construction site of Tower 3 of Beijing World Trade Center, another mega building rising up in CBD.
I will in the future show more images of the never ending construction boom in Beijing. Fascinating to watch how the skyline constantly changes.

I then took the subway at China Hotel (next door) and finally took the picture I had long planned. Indeed, few notice the strange “containers” that sit chained in every subway station in Beijing. They are massive steel containers… actually bomb disposal units. Not to throw your usual trash. Some vendors use them as their table to sell newspapers and magazines…
