A giant inflatable chicken that looked like US President Donald Trump - nicknamed 'Trump Chicken' - was demolished outside a shopping mall in Taiyuan, north China's Shanxi province on Sunday, just before the beginning of the Year of the Dog. /VCG Photo

The 30-foot figure was constructed ahead of the Year of the Rooster in December 2016. /VCG Photo

Last December, the mall’s second Trump-inspired statue – this one nicknamed 'Trump Dog' - came to public attention and Trump, born in 1946, is a dog under the Chinese zodiac. /VCG Photo

Trump related statues and products have become popular in China since his candidacy for president, often with his trademark golden bouffant and typical hand gestures. /VCG Photo
