Fucking bizarre
Right!!
I would have to watch it to notice
Not watching at all! Not one second! I give zero fucks!
This is so weird, I started searching images. First, I came up with this page that corroborates the OP from a different angle: https://www.theporchswingstore.com/blogs/design/big-air-shougang-set-to-host-ski-jumping-at-beijing-winter-olympics
Then, I found this photo from a completely different location, although an older article: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-12-04/Beijing-Olympic-skiing-test-events-canceled-due-to-COVID-19-VX6Mx2hgOI/index.html
...and another article and photos showing the mountain location under construction: https://www.gamesbids.com/forums/topic/29244-beijing-2022-venues/
The venue might be a nuclear power plant! I lived near one with two identical towers.
I can't speak for the Olympic venue, but nuclear power plants aren't the only places where cooling towers are used.

I still wouldn’t want to be within 10 miles of the place.
No arguments there. Just wanted to point out that seeing a cooling tower is no reason to panic. They're used in more applications than just nuclear energy.
Not necessarily nuclear power.
Hyperbolic cooling towers can be used for other things too.
Interesting, some examples?

weather weapons?
Could be a coal power plant.
I was squinting, trying to find Trudeau.
