A giant rooster statue resembling Trump has appeared outside of a shopping mall in the city of Taiyuan, the capital of northern China's Shanxi Province.
CNN reports that this new bigly poultry statue was commissioned by the company which owns the mall, Cao Mingliang, the deputy director of planning department from N1 ArtWalk Mall, explained to CNN. He added that the giant rooster-Donald will be the mall's mascot.
"I think the rooster is very cute and funny, the hairstyle and eyebrows look very much like Donald Trump. I'm sure it will attract a lot of customers," Wei Qing, whose company Shenghe Yangtai Business is selling replicas of the rooster, told CNN.
Qing's company isn't the only one cashing in on the rooster phenomenon. CNN reports that at least four other stores are selling the rooster at prices ranging from $57 to $1739, depending on the size, and Cao says that more are on the way.
This isn't even the first avian doppleganger Trump has had in China this year. State-run People's Daily tweeted out an image of a bird sporting a similar hairdo to the President-elect last month.
A photo of "Little Red," a pheasant with golden feathers, went viral when a journalist from Hangzhou noted that the bird -- at a Chinese safari park -- looked similar to the incoming president, Reuters reported, citing People's Daily.
"After comparing it with the photos ... we've found that not only are their hairstyles alike, their eyes' expressions are pretty similar," Gao Hongqiang, the head bird feeder at the Chinese park, told Reuters. Over the last decade, the president-elect has lodged 126 trademark applications in China for his last name.
In September, Trump reportedly succeeded in an effort to take back the "TRUMP" name trademark for use on "commercial, residential hotels and immovable property." Those rights were previously owned by a Chinese citizen.
