Chinese factory ushers in Year of the Rooster by churning out huge Trump-inspired cocks
The Year of the Rooster looks to be a profitable one, at least for one balloon factory in Zhejiang province that is currently producing giant inflatable Trump chickens to help Chinese ring in the new year.
The balloons were of course inspired by a huge sculpture of a rooster looking just like US president-elect Donald Trump which appeared outside of shopping mall in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province, late last year that was designed by Seattle-based illustrator and animator Casey Latiolais.
Believing it to be the perfect mascot for the upcoming Year of the Cock, Chinese manufacturers have seized the moment, made a few tweaks and are now offering smaller versions for sale online.

Haha guys, this bird looks like Donald Trump
A curious creature with audacious golden plumage has fascinated the world. We all watch intently as he struts about, soaking in the attention he knows he commands. An enigma, is he. What secret intent lies behind those sharp blue eyes?
Anyway, enough about Donald Trump. Check out this crazy bird.
This glorious golden pheasant at the Hangzhou Safari Park has become a thing because, well, look at him. He's got that "Trump hair in the front, medieval samurai in the back" thing going on. His nickname is "Little Red." Oh, he's perfect. We really needed this today.
The only bad thing about this news is that The People's Daily in China beat us to the Platonic ideal of bird puns.

Meet the pheasant-elect: Bird sporting 'Donald Trump's hairstyle' soars to internet fame
A golden pheasant has become a star in China because people think he has the same hairstyle as Donald Trump.
Pictures of the animal became widely shared today on Chinese media after a journalist from Hangzhou took a picture of the male bird and pointed out the 'striking similarity' between him and the US President-elect.
Mr Gao, the keeper of the bird, told MailOnline that he was surprised to hear the news, however he had begun to notice the resemblance between the two. Mr Gao works for Hangzhou Safari Park in eastern China, where the five-year-old bird lives. He said the pheasant was called 'Little Red' because of his extremely red feathers.
