Three sculptures in a Shanghai park have been dismantled by authorities after the British creator of london’s “Timepiece” blasted one as plagiarising her work, in the latest example of copying in China.

Wendy Taylor, whose 43-year-old sundial sculpture stands on the banks of the River Thames near london’s Tower Bridge, told British news outlet The Independent that a holidaying art aficionado alerted her to the apparent replica.
