SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The designs for China's tallest building in Shanghai have been tweaked, its Japanese builders said on Tuesday, after the original plans for an eye-catching round hole aroused anti-Japan sentiment.
The plans for a round opening through the upper stories of the 492-metre (1,614-ft), 101-storey Shanghai World Financial Centre sparked an uproar in China because many likened it to the rising sun of Japan's war-time flag -- a sentiment that caught developers Mori Building Co. by surprise.
