showpieces

Kim Jong Il's books are written primarily to be showpieces for the regime, for display in libraries and museums.

金正日的书主要是其集权制度的文字标本，适合在图书馆和博物馆中展出。

Even in the West, many admire China's ability to build a first-world infrastructure and transform its cities into showpieces.

甚至在西方，许多人也对中国建设第一世界级的基础设施以及将自己的城市改头换面为展示品的能力艳羡不已。
