By Lindsey Hilsum:

"Beijing's enormous new £1.8bn airport terminal has its official opening today, reports Lindsey Hilsum.

Its British design team was only invited at the last minute, as the authorities sought to make this a celebration of a very Chinese achievement.

The Beijing opening is likely to herald a massive new programme of airport construction across the country."

  • I hate how CNN alwayz portray the Chinese as simple-minded, brainwashed people suppressed by their government. like, WTF CNN!!! face the reality!

  • Typical ignorant response. Everything in China is built to massive scales because it has to cater for a nation of over 1.3 billion people who all take up resources. The level of growth China experiences demands that massive infrastructure projects like this airport, the 3 Gorges Dam, the railway 'over the world' to link Tibet with China, and the north-south canals to give Beijing water supplies, are huge.
