Zaha Hadid Architects completes Leeza SOHO skyscraper in Beijing with world's tallest atrium
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
You can easily say this about literally any American architectural project too.
"Damn the World Trade Center One supports the endless drone striking of the middle east and the forced internment of Mexican refugees in concentration camps."
If my first reaction to a nice looking building in America was instantly decrying their numerous human rights abuses as a nation, people would (rightfully) think I was a bit weird as well. Adding on that the current anti-Chinese sentiment has directly translated to racist shit happening to me IRL, it's quite gross that you can just go around saying shit like this without any real pushback or criticism, just an unthinking "Fuck china" that ensures I'll be harrassed by ignorant whites on public transport for years to come.
You're right, my bad. Fuck both the Chinese and American governments. I'm Australian, fuck my shitty government too, I don't discriminate.
Well if you can make the distinction you're already better than most people, I'm Aussie too so you know we're number one in (casual) racism and slowly climbing the ranks of regular racism :)
I feel like the variety of compositions in the photography say otherwise. This is a nuanced and organic building IMO although I can see why people would feel differently.
His comment wasn't racist and America, while not perfect, hasn't sent millions of Muslims to re-education camps. China is worse. You're not responsible for the actions of the Chinese government, China !== Chinese, and your harrassment is racist. But none of that makes it racist to point out the crimes of the Chinese government or say "fuck China".
how Come these posts don't qualify as inflammatory generalizations? Fuck is inflammatory and obviously calling out all of china is a generalization. Seeing as how people get banned for that infraction all the time I don't really get it.

Also this building looks awesome. Love pretty much all the soho projects across China. Will visit next time I'm in Beijing .
amazing building, that atrium looks nuts. I wonder if that was the inspiration for the summer movie Skyscraper starring the Rock, that took place in Shanghai I think
I personally have never read "China" as "all Chinese people" the same way when someone says fuck America I assume they're talking about the government. So I can see where we are miscommunicating.
I want you to take a walk on the Highline in NY and see if you still feel the same.
I agree, Fuck China and Fuck China's government are two entirely different statements.
Play your stupid hashtag game all you want, I'm not defending the chinese government here, I'm just curious what actually qualifies as an "inflammatory generalization" because I see that ban all the time and your post is obviously one, but moderation here sucks ass and doesn't reply to the contact us form so it's unclear what actually counts. I guess only generalizations they don't agree with, which is fine, but it should be specified if that's the case instead of the vague "banned for inflammatory generalization" notes we get.
Looks gorgeous, some of those interior shots are surreal to say the least. It's a shame it follows in the Chinese tradition of beautiful buildings constructed in an area that otherwise looks completely destitute and brutalist. Like a beautiful tree planted among a toxic landscape.
Nice contribution to the thread. Here, have a cookie 🍪.
Love to see racist shitposts on Progressive Forum ResetERA
that's not racism.
on another note imagine how much it would suck to clean both sides of the glass.
What an overreaction
What if the poster wants to see it in person but doesn't want to go all the way to china
Or financially support an oppressive regime?
"Wow nice building, too bad its in Mexico"
I as a Chinese person am not allowed to tell you that this is racist bullshit? What makes it not racist? Explain please.
A country is more than it's government and it's an undisputed fact that the heavy anti Chinese sentiment has led to hate attacks on the western Chinese.
And no, it's obvious to any Asian on this forum that they just wanted to get their racist shitpost about China in, you're making excuses for racism and that's not really good tbh
Yes, it's racism. I am rather uncomfortable that somebody actually caught a ban for calling it out. Why is the accusation of racism somehow more inflammatory than a "Fuck China" non-sequitur? Do we want a culture in Era where minorities just take the abuse?

I didn't say Fuck China and I have no issue at all with Chinese people.
to me your comment came across of someone that's not planning on visiting China anytime soon or at all but some people just rush to judgement. interesting to note one of them never commented on the Uyghurs situation but are so quick to finger point at other people... almost CCP like.
I'm telling you, as a Chinese person, what you said is incredibly racist.
Really shows your true colours when you accuse someone who is calling out anti-Chinese racism as being a CCP spy you fucking twit

The guy with a communist Air Force pilot avatar is totally not CCP or a defender of communism. I'm so sorry for accusing you of something you aren't. Much love.
It's the first cosmonaut in fucking space, how do you extrapolate that I'm an evil CCP spy from just this????
and I live in Australia what the fuck are you smoking??????
this is more racist than what hollywood said wtffff dude get your head checked not everyone who disagrees with you online is actually a secret spy
As someone whose family members were actually affected by the CCP, just fuck off, would you?
You should back off from accusing somebody who is ethnically Chinese of being pro-CCP by virtue of them being sensitive to racism because they are ethnically Chinese. It's not okay.
