Certainly there was a time when the USA seemed to be the the leaders of this kind of innovation. We're leaders of a different kind now. The video for the 15 story hotel they built super quickly seems to show an innovative design that is also very high quality-- probably higher quality than alternatives. The construction is impressively earth quake resistant. The air purification system, if I understood what was happening, was also innovative. The 4 pane glass windows seems cool, and since they are sealed, there's no need to clean the blinds. Certainly China can bring more cheap labor to a project than the USA can. But this company seems to be re-thinking things in ways that the USA could emulate-- for instance, building floors offsite (including laying down the floor tile) and then trucking them to the site for assembly. Walt Disney experimented with modular assembly back in the day, and certainly a lot of other US companies have tried it to varying degrees. This company seems to have fully embraced it in a way that the US-- despite having a head start it seems-- has not. Not sure why that is, as offsite construction of major components seems advantageous to me.
