I would think the name is "Inadequate/Vanity" building.
Why do I always think when i hear that China is going to build the 'world's biggest (insert your own word here)' that I think they are desperate to compensate for something?
The first big stone building in the world is the stepped pyramid in Saqquara, Egypt.
I think op is talking about that mixed used mall hotels building in Chengdu along the highway to the airport.
New Century Global Center, Chengdu, Sichuan.
From the out side it is rather spectacular, especially when you see it from the air either on approach or having just taken off from the airport. The inside however is not that exciting. There is a hotel (I think there will be 2 eventually), an overpriced water park, a generic shopping mall and lots and lots of offices.

I don't know about the first, but the current biggest building in China is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai City, United Arab Emirates county, Shanzhai Province.
How about this one? IMHO it doesn't look so good in real life. yeah, I know it's not finished, but I still don't think it looks as good as KK Building or IFC Buildings.
Ping An International Finance Center — Shenzhen, Gaungdong, China. Height (when completed): 2,125.98 feet / 647.99 meters
Eorthisio:
The change of cladding ruined the Ping An Center, they opted for a boring blue-greyish color instead of the golden one as shown in the artworks.
Also it seems that they won't build the spire finally, so that means the building won't even be a megatall, at 588m, megatalls start at 600m.
Daniel Lau still had fun time climbing on it though : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXSZNxeHGYA

oh! that explains why it looks so vastly different in real life... I just thought I was looking at some sort of protective construction cladding or something... it just looks unfinished... I don't know how to say what I'm trying to say... lol... it just looked to me like they weren't building it properly. not that I know anything about building skyscrapers. but the cranes at the top are Awesome!!! My dream job is to be one of those crane operators! too bad I'm also acrophobic.
darn... sure wish I had a VPN
