Well, the Americans gain one of the world's largest market and the revenue their companies derive from it while the Chinese get the best designs and buildings the world has to offer thus making their cities modern and world class. It's globalisation, only the insecure!/isolationsists who don't want to integrate with the world get left behind. So its Win-win for both sides, they are both pragmatic powers.

US firms aren't the only one's countries turn to when they feel they lack the technical know-how to build such projects on their own.

There's British firms on the list too such as:

I dont get it, why everyone is obsessed with tall buildings

Duh! Minimum ground surface, maximum square feet. And it's an engineering marvel.

It's just a phase. The US was obsessed with building skyscrapers taller and taller in the early 1900's but after about 70 years it just wasn't seen as something to do anymore. The 1973 Sears tower pretty much was the last (still in top 30 list after 44 years). Only the new World Trade Center was significant after it.
