Communist Party slogans were painted over popular wall art - but the creators' motive is unclear.
London's Brick Lane, well known for its street art, has become a talking point after one of its walls was covered by slogans extolling Chinese Communist Party ideology.
The Brick Lane slogans have sparked debate online over whether they count as street art and how freedom of expression and political propaganda interact. Wang Hanzheng, one of the creators who also goes by the name Yi Que for his art works, claimed the piece "didn't have much political meaning"., Mr Wang wrote in Chinese saying the group used the political elements as a coat "to discuss different environments".
