When you go up in the SWFC in Shanghai they give you a brochure that says that the sky walk at their 100th floor is aprox. 492 meters where as the top of the tower or Radio pole or whatever of the Taipei101 is at 509 meters but that isn't the level people can reach so it is questionable as to it being the highest, and we all know that the Taiwanese would love to be one step ahead of those damn comunists in the mainland on something.
It's a funny concept of trying to establish the highest building. Having a flag pole or antennae on top and getting 1st place seems kind of like running a foot race and winning because you had a 20 ft fishing rod out in front and it technically, the tip went over the finish line before the guy from Kenya out front.
