Even without the 198 ft pinnacle, it's taller than the Sears tower. But...
Some worry the building would be dangerous in earthquake (news - web sites)-prone Taiwan. But the skyscraper's developers have said that the closest fault line is 660 feet from the building, and the fault hasn't been active in 45,000 years.

Its just not a pinnacle at the top, from what it said you can go into it. So its just not a rod so technically it is the tallest.
