China’s latest pork-barrel prestige project will reportedly take the form of a giant ring, but so pointless is the project that it soon found itself the butt of mass Photoshop mockery.
Liaoning province’s 157m tall ring will consume 3000 tons of steel in its construction, and use 12,000 LEDs and an undisclosed amount of electricity in its nocturnal illuminations, but otherwise serves no particular purpose.
Plans to allow bungee jumping off it were abandoned as it was decided it was too dangerous even for China.
Amongst Chinese online the sheer pointlessness of the structure has stirred some speculation about possible uses:

I, for one, will welcome our Goa'uld overlord.
I for once don't want any so called worm overload resides in my body. So good luck with that
No photoshop of someone grabbing either side of it as it where a large butthole?
when they'll come, it will explode in china style
jaffah, kree !
Will it explode?
Let's hope it doesn't explode while the star gate portal is open.
They should just make a giant vagina instead and give it to japan
What's the point in that ? Japan will just censor it.
no, but it will tip over in the next major storm
They don't need to wait for a major storm, just take a look at some of their previous apartment building and we all know that it will tip over on its own just like those apartment building.
Don't underestimate those magnitude +0 earthquakes.
You sir, made my day!
But they need to build additional pylons.
Ah an olive branch to Korea's Starcraft fan's.. Brilliant!
And half an olive tree to EVE online players...
Doesn't work. China will get suicide ganked and then harvested for tears.
The SCV's are workin on it.
That explains it then as SCVs cannot build pylons.
Spawn more communist overlords.
SCV: *crackle* I can't build there!
You legend
This is gold XD
But they are making only drones, they must spawn more overlords for that purpose.
We require more vespene gas.
Explode ... No! I want it roll like a wheel though those mountain.
looks like god dropped his monocle
Honestly I was expecting some Gate of Babylon there but, meh.
Nah, the Chinese would never accomplish something so amazing.
They could embed a vertical loop roller coaster inside the thing. That would be pretty spiffy, at least until the first deaths.
At the least, it already looks like a halfpipe.
no sliders parody ? ... oh well ...
sliders was made before half these faggots were born, therefore it is overlooked, just like "old anime".
Now even the Aliens is not safe with China. They already have the plan to invade the Galaxy. WWIII will happen with China VS the whole Galaxy.
But first, they need to figure out how to beat the Goonswarm and the Clusterfuck Coalition.
Gateway arch is still taller
JUST AS USELESS RIGHT IN THE ASSHOLE OF THE USA.
lol triti
Don't mince words Roy, tell us how you really feel..
What about the St. Louis arch, equally useless.
Actually you can go to the top of the St. Louis Arch and there's a lookout point in it.
Personally, I think landmarks like this should be used in the Red Bull air race!
LOL op pwnd.
As the Gateway to the West, it's at least symbolic.
Yeah, wasn't is supposed to be for the railroad or something?
No, it's a memorial to explorers like Lewis and Clark. In fact a railroad was relocated to accommodate the arch.
maybe some supernatural event will happen.
A portal to another world might be cool.
Considering China would have build that portal, it would probably just lead to an antimatter universe.
I see what you did there XD
One of the crazy theories of 2012 is the coming of aliens, what better way to draw attention?!
Probably should be ready by 12/21/2012 ...
Or perhaps a larger particle collider camouflaged .. :P
If that's a particle collider, it's awfully small. The LHC is 27km (17mi.) in circumference.
The LCH is quite much larger than this useless ring.
but that antimatter universe will explode bec of China o.o
It might just work.
It is Chinese, it will explode.
It already is a portal to another world, a world of exploding things.
More like it's a portal from one side of the giant ring, to the other side of the giant ring. Either way, both worlds are indifferent, they both contain exploding things.
Counterpoint: Event Horizon
It's Loki. He wants to bring the Chitauri again. Only this time in China cause the Avengers won't be there.
