Not to start a city vs. city, but I believe you mean a "Chicago Style" skyscraper since most of the designs this is referencing came from Chicago and the Second Bauhaus.
True! China hires a lot of American Architects, and from what i know they are mostly Chicagoan architects!
It's been said before, but I wish a tower like this had been proposed for 1WTC. It looks like a modern version of 70 Pine or 40 Wall street, and its silhouette would have brought lower Manhattan right back to its 1930's glory. KPF (which is a New York firm, btw) seems to do more spectacular work out of town.

Totally agree- this thing would be awesome in lower Manhattan
Not to continue the off topic discussion too much, but I also think this would be great in downtown NYC. It's a little more conservative than other Chinese skyscrapers.
On the topic of the building itself, at least the Chinese developers seem to get the desire for awesome observation decks and restaurants in the sky. I'm still gutted over the loss of the restaurant at 1 WTC.

Exactly- the closest thing there is to the promenade room on the Glass Tower in Towering Inferno
