TRUMP ROOSTER:

A factory in eastern China has been doing brisk business selling giant inflatable roosters, some as tall as 16ft (4.9m), based on a design widely perceived to resemble US President-elect Donald Trump.

Yifang Inflatables, a factory in the city of Jiaxing, near Shanghai, began selling the inflatables after images of a large sculpture of a similar design outside a shopping centre in the northern city of Taiyuan went viral on social media last month.

Chinese state media have described the rooster as “sporting the president-elect’s signature hairdo and hand gestures”.
