Why isn't there more Chinese inspired architecture in America?

It's not very mainstream, and I think it's just too different from traditional Western architecture.  The things that go in and out of style differ only slightly.  It just seems like too far of a departure for people to accept.

For quite a long time. However, China is still behind. It continues to progress. The economy is okay. I would not exactly say that it is fabulous because there are still many many homeless and starving people. America is still leading. However America does feel threatened by China. China is improving at a very fast rate. However, there are still large areas and things that have yet to be improved.

Part of it has to due with their huge population. A lot of jobs have been outsourced to China because they can make it cheaper because they don't have things like a minimum wage like America. Therefore they can always "find someone else" to fill a job.

I think a lot of it is based primarily on the industrial movements or technologies developed in particular countries. For example, in aviation, the standard language is English worldwide. This is not isolated to language. In avaiation, aircraft manufacturers (including Airbus) often value their products in US dollars and measure thrust in pounds.\n\nAnyway, with language, the following are arguements as to why I think Chinese will not find widespread use within the near future.\n1) Chinese has an isolated location of speakers. Chinese is only primary found in Eastern Mainland Asia.\n2) If we are thinking # of speakers, English is widely spoken in India which is quite possibly China's competitor as far as indistrial growth.\n3) Chinese writing is extremely difficult to learn. The basis that most of the world knows the Roman Alphabet should keep the lingua franca restricted to European based languages.\n\nHowever, I will say that learning Chinese is probably not a bad idea especially if you intend on doing business overseas. I do not forsee a non-european language becoming the lingua franca within our lifetimes. Realistically, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

There is one in or near Monroe, GA. I hear they may be building one closer to Atlanta, possibly Stone Mountain, but I don't think there is one there now.

My answer to this would be because it was the least inhospitable.  If humans can survive walking around naked, hunting and gathering, they do so.  It's only the crazy ones who moved to cold places or dry places that had to figure out things like clothes and shelter...and this led to more tinkering and then started the road to 'development.'  The native cultures in America were low tech as well...yes they had tech, as many civilizations in Africa did, but they didn't keep up with the crazy Europeans and Asians, and the Americas had things the Others wanted, so they invaded and killed/enslaved the natives.\n\nAfrica didn't have as much in the ways of things that the Eurasians wanted, other than Africans, so they left them more alone.  The cultures that evolved then in the Americas had the baseline of Eurasian technological influence to catch them up.  Other than mining, Africa didn't have much that the Eurasians invested in, so they lagged, and after the colonial empires collapsed there, Eurasian interest waned...they got left to their own devices to try and figure ot where to go next.\n\nOkay so Asian cultures are not as easy to classify...fairly mild there too but the Koreans and Chinese live in cold regions too so we'll count them as at least partly inhospitable.

Just because you have taken the time to get to know the United States doesn't mean you should expect Americans to know China.  Also, speaking as an American, most Americans don't know 40% of Detroit is black etc. \n\nP.S. I actually like a lot of things in Chinese culture, didn't you know one of my actors is Chinese? Tony Leung Chiu Wai, the guy in all the Wong Kar Wai films.

the most majority is made in China, also in 9/11 some small factories closed here to open in China and Centro America, I think these happen because the factory owners is no Americans.

Hard to think of many.  I suppose it keeps the population density down somewhat in a given area.  This leads to less skirmishes between neighbors, or at least one might think so.\n\nInfrastructure resources (roads, transportations systems, buildings) aren't as tightly packed, which allows for some degree of future expansion.  Current designs typically design in more green space for water drainage and buffering, noise reduction and aesthetics.

Of course not, I don't even know what's the problem between Taiwan and the Usa. But hell no, first of all look at all the items in American, most of them say\n"made in china".\n;l\nAmerica needs china economically, so no way.\nAnyways it has much lethal problems such as the middle east, illegal immigrant problems, and the war against terrorism.

A certain quality and safety standard has to be maintained for goods to be imported in the US.  Other countries are probably nor meeting that criteria yet.  There are large quantity of goods being imported from China, so your statement is not entirely true either.

Yes...there are many. Its really just a matter of location. If the US were in Asia we would be flooded with Chinese. Seems the INS isn't able to find and deport other foreign nationals either.

Currently there is a big focus on architecture using recycled materials, ambient light and other environmentally friendly stuff to erect "green buildings".  Lower energy consumption is also a big thing.

Well,the Chinese save up more of their income and they also invest more of their money into education,so...it goes without saying,China is the next America.

China, like many other nations in the world, feel that the USA is an arrogant young power which does not realize that the Chinese civilization has been around for quite a while; thousand of years. So they expect the American government to facilitate the creation of a relationship of mutual respect and above all not to meddle in China's sphere of influence.
