I also say it looks like Mao
It sure doesn’t look like King. Why do we have to have a Chinese do a sculpture of an American? Do we have no Americans who could have done the job? I think the thing is a monstrosity. King looks like a Mongol.
That was the very first thought that came to me as well. One of the people who chose the sculptor said that the Red Chinese artist was the best person for the job. I think that there is a subliminal message that is intentional.
