According to Sankei News, Floraland (Chengdu, China) has removed a robot statue resembling the life-sized Gundam statue in Japan. Sotsu, the copyright manager of Gundam, has been warning the park that the statue infringes the copyrights and demanding swift removal of it.

Floraland had been insisting that the design of the statue is original but they suddenly began repairing its face because "the design was different from what we initially planned." Sankei reported that the statue has disappeared by December 21st and the staff of the park replied to the mass media's inquiry that "We don't even know the existence of the statue."

It's like their crappy knock-off of the original Gundam show(search youtube for it), where all they did was change the colors.

Did they have to pick the ugliest colors to give a Gundam?

I laughed when I saw the China 'gundam'. Then I remembered that I'm chinese and I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. Although I'm not China - chinese, still... seeing things like that really bring mixed emotions.

How unfortunate...I'm Chinese...

Ah, who cares. That Gundam statue looked laughably pathetic. And did the staff of the park really deny the existence of that rip-off statue? Oh god, that sounds like something a totalitarian government/agency would say.

Looks like China fails yet again. I swear, China is the world's Irate Gamer.

"We don't even know the existence of the statue."

Wow, just... wow. Are they trying to retcon reality or something?

Hmm... I vaguely remember the anti-Japan thing going on just awhile back, or is it an ongoing thing. So what's up with the Japanese rip-off going on? Also, ripping off electronics is understandable - not correct, but 'understandable', but what's up with the gigantic robot statue? I just don't get it...

Probably the most hilarious part is that after 21 Dec the staff claimed that they didn't know the damn thing existed. I mean, is it really that hard to forget about a towering yellow ... abomination?

Who knows what the people in China might do next... I'm guessing next they say that the statue was planted by Japan to use this chance to sue China.

Guys, you're not seeing what really happened here! Someone with the ability to erase memories broke in and stole a freaking Gundam- be on the look-out for ugly giant robots in your area and report them immediately to the proper authorities.

Hate when people say stuff like "Stupid China", "Silly China", "China Yet Again", etc, YOU DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE AS TO HOW THE CHINESE PEOPLE LIVE!!!...Most of you have been fed China bashing garbage by that weeaboo Artefact of Sakaku Complex (YAY JAPAN SUPER KAWAIII GIRUGAMESH!), who on the site post regular anti- China 24/9000l! Only Chinese bashing pro-Japanese articles can be seen all year round.
So before you go say remarks like that again stop and THINK for YOURSELF "Do I really know how the Chinese people operate?, Have I ever been to China?" instead of swallowing whole to all the anti-China garbage the media feeds you.

N.B.
I'm not saying that some of the articles aren't true (like this one for example), but take your ignorant hate and wise cracks somewhere else.
