CITIC Tower is a supertall skyscraper in the final stages of construction located in the Central Business District of Beijing. It is popularly known as China Zun (Chinese: 中国尊; pinyin: Zhōngguó Zūn) and IPA pronunciation [ʈʂʊ́ŋ.kwǒ.tswə́n]. The 108-storey, 528 m (1,732 ft) building are going to be the tallest within the town, surpassing that of the China World Trade Center Tower III by 190 metres.On August 18, 2016, CITIC Tower surpassed China World Trade Center Tower III in height, becoming Beijing's tallest building.

The nickname China Zun comes from the zun, an ancient Chinese wine vessel which inspired the building design, according to the developers, the CITIC Group. The ceremony of the building passed in Peking on Sep nineteen, 2011 and also the constructors expect to end the project among 5 years. After completion, CITIC Tower are Northern China's third tallest building when Goldin Finance 117 and Chow Tai Fook Binhai Center in Tianjin.

Farrells produced the tower's land bid concept design, with Kohn Pedersen Fox assuming the project and completing a 14-month-long concept design process after the client had won the bid.

China Zun Tower are a mixed-use building, that includes sixty floors of workplace house, 20 floors of luxury apartments and 20 floors of hotel with 300 rooms, there will be a top side garden on the highest floor at 524m high.

The tower is probably going to stay the tallest building in Beijing for the predictable future, as in 2018 authorities capped new projects in the central business district to a height of no more than 180 meters in a bid to reduce congestion.

Controversy

In Gregorian calendar month 2018, Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao revealed that China Zun’s top three floors, Levels 106-107 and an observatory on level 108, is to be expropriated by the national-security apparatus, since the complete Zhongnanhai complicated, the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council of the People's Republic of China, could be seen from the highest of the edifice with the eye on a transparent day. It is also said[by whom?] that with high-end telescopes and alternative observation instrumentation, the day-to-day lives and activities of the Party and State Leaders could be seen. The building is ordered rectification for "fire safety issues" by the authorities, but the CITIC Group is unable to reveal the specific reason for rectification. It is also said the top three floors of the building will be administered by the National Security authorities after rectification.
