Chinese Drug makers Office Looks Like Royal Palace

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 11:32 AM PDT

The luxury interior decoration of the office building belonging to the state-owned Harbin Pharmaceutical Group Sixth factory in Harbin, in northeast China's Heilongjiang province. The building contains three floors of offices and three more floors of a print museum belonging to the state-owned pharmaceutical firm.

It looks more like a view of a luxurious palace for one of the world's richest leaders - but this is actually the interior of an office building. Even more surprising is that the block is in China, a country more known for its minimalist, functional approach.

Li Xiaomeng, a CCTV anchor, said in his weibo.com (China's twitter): "The first reaction is, the 6 Pharmaceutical Factory of Harbin Pharmaceutical Group is a state-controlled enterprise. According to the Ministry of Finance, in 2010 the state-owned enterprises realized a total profit of nearly 2 trillion Yuan, only about 5% was paid out as 'dividend'. People should know where the profit has gone, do people love to see the 'imperial palace' ". A netizen "sherry" said:" I can only say it is too much like an upstart and far from a pharmaceutical company. Another netizen"大米爱折腾" said:"it is so luxuriously decorated, no wonder Chinese medicine is so expensive! "

Harbin Pharmaceutical Group appears to have modelled its factory in Harbin, in the northeast of Heilongjiang province, on the Palace of Versailles. The state-owned drug firm has caused outrage with the lavish decoration, which includes gold-tinted walls and chandeliers.
