According to the Chinese calendar, 2017 is Year of the Rooster and one Chinese factory has rolled out a very special surprise right in time for Chinese New Year, which will take place in 2017 on Saturday, January 28. This giant, 65-foot-high inflatable chicken is called 'Super Trump', and the levitating caricature features a white chicken sporting the iconic blonde hairdo of the US president elect, sewn on in golden fabric. Oddly enough, this isn't the first time that Trump has been compared to a bird in China. Chinese social media is abuzz about the similarities between the President elect and a five-year-old golden pheasant called "Little Red", which appears to have the same slicked back blonde hairdo as the Donald. 'Super Trump' was designed by American artist Casey Latiolais and the factory is selling individual inflatable birds for just under 8 thousand dollars a pop.
An initial survey of China’s factory sector for September unexpectedly shrank to its lowest level since 2009 as the slowdown in the Chinese economy intensifies. Meg Teckman reports.
With property prices dropping and GDP growth slowing, the last thing Chinese policy makers want is vulnerability in the manufacturing sector. Unfortunately, weak new orders are not a promising sign. Jon Gordon reports.
