【新唐人2013年08月06日訊】中國大陸湖南長沙計劃興建世界第一高樓「天空城市」的消息引來各方關注。最近，負責項目的中國遠大集團總裁張躍表示，出於安全方面的考慮，建設天空城市時，只會使用外國鋼材。張躍的這一聲明對於深陷困境的大陸鋼鐵行業來說，不亞於雪上加霜。下面請看報導。
8月1號，中國遠大集團總裁張躍對外表示，建設「天空城市」的幾十萬噸鋼材來自世界鋼鐵技術頭號王國盧森堡，價格昂貴，還要加上關稅與高額運費。幾十萬噸鋼材運輸2萬多公里不太環保，但他認為：安全必須優先於環保。
北京天則經濟研究所副所長馮興元：「就是強調他用的是質量最有保證的，他是為了信用增強。我建這麼一個樓，我用的是一個甚麼樣質量（的材料），那麼整體樓的質量會怎麼樣，給大家有這個印象。」
中國鋼鐵工業協會副秘書長戚向東立即對遠大集團的決定提出質疑，指稱國產鋼材用於建築工程應該是合格的。並要求遠大做出解釋，為何不買國內鋼材。
馮興元：「他這個想法是錯的，為甚麼呢？你不買國內鋼材，你買國外的，刺激了國外經濟，人家也會買你的東西的。因為我們本身就有大量的外匯儲備，本來我們就需要買國外很多東西的。」
香港《南華早報》引述專家的分析指出，國內鋼材可以滿足房屋建築的一般需求，但無法滿足堅固性要求極高或一些特殊用途的建築。
太原理工大學教授、山西省建築結構委員會副主任吳鋼：「你必須把你要的鋼材的指標，比如你要多高的強度，四零零、幾零零的，拿來指標的話，就看我們哪個廠家能達到這個要求，他要經過試驗、經過配比，才能做出來。一般情況，現行的可能達不到。」
也有專家指出，按照目前中國鋼鐵業的技術水準，確實還無法滿足世界超級高樓對鋼材的要求。而且近3年來，大陸鋼鐵業連續大面積虧損，很多企業瀕臨破產，情況非常嚴重。
北京國情內參首席研究員、獨立中國問題學家鞏勝利：「比如鋼鐵產品分高中低三個層次的話，中國的高端產品肯定是不行的。中國有一艘二手的航空母艦，航空母艦上的甲板中國都沒辦法製造。」
據悉，天空城市大樓將落戶湖南省長沙市，高838米，建成後比目前世界第一高樓——迪拜的哈利法塔還將高出10米。遠大集團聲稱，項目將完全採用工廠預製模塊，由工人組裝，預計用7個月便可創記錄的完工。
7月20號，天空城市進行了開工典禮。經媒體曝光後，引起各界關於其安全性、環保、資金鏈、市場以及審批手續等方面的質疑。
鞏勝利：「中國目前出現了一些鬼城，比如像鄂爾多斯、還有一些枯竭性的城市。」
陸媒報導，天空城市位於長沙望城區，屬於城市的河西板塊，地理位置較為偏僻，既不屬於商業中心，也不屬於政治、文化中心。當局提出的長株潭一體化，主要體現在長沙的發展重心將逐漸向南靠攏，但望城屬於城市的西北部，無法獲得這一政策優勢。
面對各種質疑，7月30號遠大集團對外回應說，天空城市目前已經通過環境評估、交通評估、安全評估等步驟，並且拿到國土證、規劃證等一系列證件，正在申請建設規劃和施工許可證等。
8月3號，在建的中國第一高樓——上海中心大廈進行結構封頂。但這座高632米的大樓要等到2015年才能正式交付使用。

Communist regime’s steel not qualified for Sky City building.
The world’s tallest building, Sky City, is expected to be built
in the city of Changsha, Hunan.
Zhang Yue, the owner of the developer, Broad Group indicated,
Sky City will use only foreign steel for the sake of safety.
This claim is yet another blow to the already struggling steel
industry in China. The following is our report.
On August 1, Broad Group president Zhang Yue said,
Sky City will use hundreds of thousands of tones of steel
from the technically advanced country, Luxembourg.
The cost will be very high in both tariffs and transportation.
Even though it’s not environmentally ideal to transport this
much steel, more than 20,000 km, he believes safety is the priority.
Unirule Institute of economics deputy director
Feng Xingyuan: “With the guaranteed best quality,
he is building the credit for his construction.
It is publicity for his construction."
Deputy secretary general of China Steel Industry Association,
Qi Xiangdong, questioned Broad Group’s decision and claimed,
“Home-made steel should be qualified for construction."
He demanded an answer from Broad Group
why domestic steel is not adequate.
Feng Xingyuan: “He was wrong. Purchasing foreign steel will
actually stimulate more buying power from foreign countries.
We should do more foreign purchases with our large reserves."
Hong Kong based South China Morning Post reported an
expert’s analysis,
“Domestic steel meets general needs in building construction,
except for a few special uses that demands
extremely high robustness or other such special properties.”
Taiyuan University of Technology professor Wu Gang:
“The specified strength of the steel can be standardized according to index.
The quality can be achieved through test and comparison.
Domestic steel still lacks such specificity."
Chinese steel industry is criticized, believed to be lacking
in such high tech to satisfy the need of a tower construction.
China’s steel industry, has for nearly three years, been through
serious losses, especially in the case of many bankruptcies.
China issue researcher Gong Shengli: “China’s higher end steel
definitely could not meet the highest standard.
As an example, take a second-hand aircraft carrier in today’s China,
China could not even make the decks for the carrier."
China’s Sky City is said to stand in the city of Changsha,
Huanan, being 10 meters higher than Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.
The Broad Group estimated the tower will only take a record
breaking 7 months to complete with prefabricating techniques.
Sky City groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 20.
Ever since, it has been highly criticized for safety,
environmental issues, capital chain, marketing,
building permission, and so forth.
Gong Shengli: “There are places in China now becoming
either ghost towns or dying a death."
Chinese media reported that Sky City is located
at a remote area of Changsha city,
outside of the business, political and cultural center.
According to local integration policy,
Changsha development will focus towards the South.
Sky City, scheduled in the Northwest of Changsha,
is not a part of the local development policy.
Facing much criticism, Broad Group responded on July 30 that
Sky City has passed assessments of environment, traffic, & safety.
With pending construction planning permits, it has obtained
land permits and many other necessary documents.
On August 3, Shanghai Tower, China’s tallest building
was installing its final beam.
This 632 meter tall building will not be ready to use until 2015.
