PRESIDENT-ELECT Donald Trump's golden quiff, bushy eyebrows and preening gestures were immortalised this week in China - though perhaps not in a way that he would have liked.

They appeared on a giant rooster statue, just above some three-toed feet and a blood-red wattle that hangs below a gilded nose and mouth. The statue, which was installed outside a shopping mall in the northern Chinese city of Taiyuan, was built to celebrate the coming Year of the Rooster in the Chinese lunar calendar and comes less than a month before Mr Trump's inauguration. It is 7 metres tall.
