китайцы, между прочим, собираются украсть целую деревню:
Residents of the Austrian mountain town of Hallstatt, population 800, are scandalized. A Chinese firm has plans to replicate the village — including its famous lake — in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong, Austrian media reported this week.
да и что там деревня, в конце концов:
This isn’t the first time a Chinese firm has used a European place as inspiration. The Chinese city of Anting, some 30 kilometers from Shanghai, created a district designed to accommodate 20,000 residents called “German Town Anting.” Modelled after a typical mid-size German city by architecture firm Albert Speer & Partner, it includes Bauhaus style architecture and a fountain with statues of Goethe and Schiller.
In 2005 Chengdu British Town was modelled on the English town of Dorchester. One year later Thames Town was finished near Shanghai, complete with a 66-meter tall church that bears a striking resemblance to a cathedral in Bristol. Also near Shanghai are mini versions of Barcelona, Venice and the Scandinavian-inspired Nordic Town. The architectural plagiarisms are popular destinations among middle-class Chinese, even serving as backdrops for wedding photos.
и как тут без копирайта, можно спросить? а легко:
While a 1:1 copy may not be entirely legal, the building of structures based off of photographs is, says UNESCO.
кстати, недавно Китай так же выкупил у США кусочек земли размером в 50 квадратных миль и собираются теперь построить там городок. а что мелочиться, я думаю? давайте сразу копию Белого дома. и небольшого азиатского Барака Обаму во дворе с ромашками.
[…] все же подделали: A $940 million Chinese clone of one of Austria’s most picturesque villages, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hallstatt, recently opened its doors to visitors in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong amidst some controversy. […]
