Subject: Anish Kapoor accuses China of copying Chicago's 'bean' sculpture
Written By: Philip Eno on 08/12/15 at 1:23 pm
Artist Anish Kapoor has complained of plagiarism following reports that a sculpture similar to one he made for Chicago has been constructed in China. "It seems that in China today it is permissible to steal the creativity of others," he said in a statement. According to Chinese media, the stainless steel work in the town of Karamay, north-west China, is intended to represent "a big oil bubble". Kapoor's original, named Cloud Gate, was unveiled in Chicago in 2006.

Well, it's just China. They just want to copy off American culture in their own version, so that their people would be happy that they live there.
