Written by Oscar Holland, CNNChina built more skyscrapers in 2018 than anywhere else in the world -- or at any other time in history, according to data released by the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) on Wednesday. A total of 88 buildings measuring 200 meters (656 feet) or above were completed in cities across China this year. The city completed more 200-meter-plus buildings than anywhere else in the world, including the 393-meter (1,288-foot) pickle-shaped China Resources Tower (right). San Francisco and Miami also completed their tallest ever skyscrapers: the 326-meter (1,070-foot) Salesforce Tower and the 252-meter (827-foot) Panorama Tower, respectively. "It can also be expected that any tariffs imposed against China would lead to disruptions in the global construction industry, particularly concerning steel, as well as in China itself."
