Chinese-made 'Ice' a licence to chill in Washington

The US capital isn't used to ice, snow and severe cold. So this year, enterprising spirits had two million tons of ice shipped in from Ohio to create a winter wonderland. The end result is called "Ice" and it sits in a large white tent on the banks of the Potomac River. And like many things in the United States, it's yet another Chinese import because 40 ice sculptors form China were shipped in from Harbin, home to arguably the world's best-known ice sculpture competition, and worked 40 days to put it together.Duration: 01:36
