    Traffic flows on Beijing's East Third Ring Road past the ongoing construction of the new Chinese Central Television (CCTV) headquarters (R), 18 December 2007. The CCTV Tower is one of the most striking additions to Beijing's skyline, dotted with futuristic monuments to China's rapid growth and new-found power and influence. Two angled towers reaching up into the skyline are joined at the top by a canopy that will eventually house 11 floors of offices, restaurants and public areas suspended over a void.
