The statue of Mao Zedong in Wuyi Square in Fuzhou has recently been either the subject of a political statement, or an unlucky bystander in the face of errant paintball fire. A friend of mine first noticed the giant paint spot yesterday, and when we came back today, it was still there. Historical precedents have shown strict penalties for those known to publicly deface Mao. The source of the paint (as far as I have heard) is still unknown.
