Yujiapu is China’s answer to Manhattan’s financial district. They are even building it to look the same. Yujiapu will have a replica of the Rockefeller Center, a pair of identical towers that resemble those of the original WTC, and a skyscraper that is set to be one of the tallest in the world. On what was an insignificant bend in the Hui River on the far outskirts of Tianjin only a handful of years ago is now the site of what is set to become the world’s largest financial center.
