A. Our society? Do you live in China?
B. Its not just for broadcasting, I believe there will be an observation deck and restaurant or something at the top. How does that make this any different than the Space Needle or CN tower?
C. It probably doesn't cost all that much since its being built in China and is relatively barebones construction.
D. Also, the Eiffel Tower was constructed 120 years ago not even to broadcast radio waves, only to look good and give people a view. How does this new tower say anything different about "modern" (if you consider 120 years ago as modern as well) soceity than the Eiffel Tower?
