Netizens: New China building is 'pants'

by CNNGo staff

From now until 2014, a new skyscraper will be built in China every five days, according to Chinese media.

One in particular has received a lot of attention this week.

Gate to the East (????, also called by some Gate of the Orient), is a 300-meter, 69-story skyscraper under construction in Suzhou, a city of 10 million residents about 100 kilometers west of Shanghai.

The construction has inspired a great deal of criticism and humor among mainland Internet users for its shape, which users say resembles a giant pair of thermal pants or jeans.

"This [building] will work nicely as a jeans center," posted one anonymous netizen, as reported by China Youth.

"But does it look more like a pair of thermal pants or jeans? And it?s low-waist," the same netizen continued.
