                China Completes World's Second-Tallest Building

   Workers have completed construction of the world`s second-tallest
   skyscraper in China`s commercial hub of Shanghai.
   The final beam was hoisted to the top of the 632-meter Shanghai Tower
   on Saturday and was installed in a flag-waving ritual.
   After the ceremony, workers will now move on to the building`s interior
   construction. Once it is completed next year, the tower will contain
   retail and office space, a luxury hotel and possibly a museum.
   Designed by the American architectural firm Gensler, the glass and
   steel building is surpassed in height only by Dubai`s Burj Khalifa,
   which stands at more nearly 830 meters.
