During the construction boom of recent years, numerous spectacular buildings have sprung up in China – such as a skyscraper in the shape of Daoist deities and a museum designed like a teapot. In 2014, Xi Jinping had already opposed such „strange, oversized architecture.“ A ban eventually followed last year. However, the ban apparently does not apply to cute art on buildings, as is demonstrated by this panda construction in Nanning in Guangxi province.
