ON THE COVER: This hair-raising photo was taken on top of a tower crane early February by one of two Russian men who without ropes, safety harnesses, or permission from Chinese authorities - scaled the SHANGHAI TOWER. The building, which is still under construction in the heart of China’s commercial hub, will reach more than 630m (2073 ft) into the sky when construction – scheduled to fi nish by the end of 2014 – is completed. It will be China’s tallest skyscraper and the world’s second tallest building, beaten only by Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.
