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:

China - we could have built our bridges with steel instead of garbage... but we REALLY wanted this giant ring.
is it really made of steel?
And the tears of many orphans.
And the corpses of their enemies (they figured out the great wall was the best base design but decided to use steel over stone)
And it was still not enough, and it is steel only outsude. And inside it is made from rubbish.
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.
But they are making only drones, they must spawn more overlords for that purpose.
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!
This is gold XD
You legend
A portal to another world might be cool.
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.
It's Loki. He wants to bring the Chitauri again. Only this time in China cause the Avengers won't be there.
Counterpoint: Event Horizon
Considering China would have build that portal, it would probably just lead to an antimatter universe.
I see what you did there XD
but that antimatter universe will explode bec of China o.o
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.
It might just work.
It is Chinese, it will explode.
I, for one, will welcome our Goa'uld overlord.
jaffah, kree !
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
I for once don't want any so called worm overload resides in my body. So good luck with that
I looked at it and thought "someone play too much Halo"
Will it explode?
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!
They should just make a giant vagina instead and give it to japan
What's the point in that ? Japan will just censor it.
Let's hope it doesn't explode while the star gate portal is open.
China waste their money on the stupidest things.
"Let's see, what can we spend our money to help further our country?
Better education? ...nope.
Better food? Nuh-uh.
Easier/efficient transportion? No way!
Better material for building & repairing bridges/buildings? Why?
...
Build a giant ass ring?
FUCK YEAH!"
Wtf guys.
why did they build a gaint ring?
maybe they want to communicate with protoss and bring dark templar to china,
then zerg the nation with zealots :))
why did they build a join ring
maybe they want to communicate with protoss and bring dark templar to china
then zerg the nation with zealots :))
Or maybe China wanted to be original and blow their treasury on an obvious waste of financial resources and international image. Not that they had much of the latter to begin with, of course.
It's easier to understand if you include the kickback factor in your calculations.
Isn't that the case for all nations?
Maybe we can link this with the St Louis Arc and make a 2 way Teleport Gate.
Would *you* want Chinese yokels wandering through the Arc into downtown St. Louis, not even mentioning the military?
Didn't think so.
