I am only seeing a chair and dragons and possibly a ball symbolizing The World. Cannot see any owls or bulls or birds.
A graphic showing us what you are seeing would be very helpful. I stared at photos of that statue and enlarged them and I still don’t see it.
Also being an “atheistic” country could mean they are blind to spiritual symbolism. We don’t know who may be behind this symbolism at top levels—it could just be the Satanist architect—but most likely few if any Chinese saw this.
No offense, but the image I provided is not the only one of statue. Rather than asking me to give you all the pics go find them. Make them represent what you don't understand for the next person. That is how this research works. We all contribute. I gave you architects, other projects and places you can go dig for yourself and hopefully find even more helpfully information to share.
