Don't think I've ever seen engineers lift a building and moving it to another place before, in the west we usually just destroy the old building, and build a new one if we do anything at all. If we do it, It of course takes forever, with multi year long bidding processes and some artsy architect designing some modern travesty.
One based redditor could actually see the writing on the wall:
In America, the project would be put up for a bid. The bid is merely a facade, as the development group in charge of the project has some family friends who are in the construction business.
The engineering firms put forth their proposals. Some include just what the Chinese are doing because it’s cheaper, quicker, and better for everyone around.
Those proposals are denied in favor of the “tear it down and rebuild” plan that will make the family friend a lot of money and give kickbacks to the development group.
15 years later, the project is bankrupt. There’s a half destroyed train station along with an empty husk of a building that will decay and crumble before its ever finished. The community has no recourse and no train station and legitimate engineering firms go out of business since they can’t compete with corruption.
Seriously. Is the US ever going to compete again in terms of infrastructure? Would the US ever be capable of recreating China’s ability to blanket the entire country in high speed rail?

But thats pretty cool.

Hit it on the head. This country is GG. Xi please end our suffering and fire the nukes
Buildings definitely do get moved in the US and other western countries, but it's not that common or with buildings this big.
