We were recently in China. In the eastern part of Shandong Province outside the city of Rongcheng, in Shidaochishan scenic resort, we saw an apparently bronze statue of the Sea God, which was billed as the largest bronze statue in the world. It was built in the mid to late '80s. There is a photo at http://en.chinahotel.com.cn/images/scene/S00151709.jpg. The only confirmation I've been able to find is "The highest forged copper statue in the world, a statue of the mythical god Chishan Mingshen...."

The white spots on a bronze statue are likely caused by a process called bronze disease, which is the formation of a powdery substance called bronze corrosion. To effectively remove these spots, a conservator can use a gentle cleaning solution and a soft brush to carefully remove the corrosion. To prevent future white spots, the statue should be regularly cleaned and maintained to prevent the buildup of dirt and pollutants that can contribute to bronze disease.
It is chemical. The copper in bronze turns green when it oxidizes.
Neither. Bronze is an alloy of multiple metals. Usually copper and tin are by far the largest percentage but there are many alloys known of as bronze with different 'recipes'.
Yes, there is a difference, but is less important than the difference between solid (sheet) bronze and cast bronze caskets. Solid bronze caskets are welded from sheets of wrought bronze. Bronze deposit caskets too, but they have an additional coat of bronze which is applied by an electrolytic (or similar) process to a base made of sheet bronze. This increases the thickness of the bronze walls and guarantees a smooth surface.
The Xia Dynasty in ancient China is believed to have been the first to use bronze extensively. They advanced the use of bronze in tools, weapons, and ritual objects, setting the stage for the Shang Dynasty to further develop bronze technology.
