    I'm not quite sure that I understand this one:

    A Chinese fashion photographer has apologised for her "ignorance" after a picture she shot for French luxury brand Dior sparked outrage.

    Chen Man's photo showed a woman who some Chinese netizens said perpetuated Western stereotypes of Asian faces.

    "I blame myself for my immaturity and ignorance [in my past works]," Ms Chen, 41, wrote on social platform Weibo.

    Advertisements draw flak in China over Asian stereotypes

    BEIJING (AP) — Advertisements featuring some Chinese models have sparked feuding in China over whether their appearance and makeup are perpetuating harmful stereotypes of Asians.


    German automaker Mercedes-Benz and a Chinese food company are the latest to get caught up in the fray.


    Some Chinese consumers complained after the local snack brand Three Squirrels featured advertisements for noodle products on its Weibo microblogging account showing a Chinese model with eyes they said looked slanted. Critics accused the company of spreading Western stereotypes.

    Mercedes Benz also was attacked by some Chinese online who accused it of using a model with “slanted eyes” in its advertisements on Weibo. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


    The “slanted eyes” stereotype emerged in the West in the 19th century and is considered offensive and derogatory to Asians.


    The latest backlash over advertisements followed one over luxury brand Dior, which apologized and withdrew a photo at an art exhibition showing an Asian model with freckles and very dark makeup clutching a Dior handbag. In response to criticism in China, the company said that it “respects the feelings of the Chinese people.”


    Three Squirrels said in a post Saturday on its official Weibo account that it did not intend to portray a Chinese person in a bad light. The advertisement was shot in 2019, the company said in a statement. The model is Chinese and the makeup style was designed to suit her natural features, it said.


    “In response to the feedback from netizens that the model’s makeup does not conform to publicly-accepted aesthetics standards and caused discomfort, our company apologizes,” the statement read.


    “The page has been replaced and arrangements have been made to check other company pages to ensure that this situation will not happen again.”


    Online, Chinese internet users have criticized the selection of models and makeup styles to deliberately portray the “slanted eyes” image.


    One user with the handle MaoBuErXiong said that such slanted eyes imagery is derogatory and is deeply embedded in the fashion industry, with Asian models and their makeup styles often selected to fit a stereotype.


    The model featured in the Three Squirrels advertisements has spoken out against the criticism.


    “Just because my eyes are small, I’m not good enough to be a Chinese person? I don’t know what to say to these comments … I’m really helpless,” the model said in a Weibo post under the handle Cai Niangniang.


    “As a professional model, what I need to do is be photographed accordingly to what the client wants, I don’t know how this became about me humiliating the Chinese people,” she said.


    The communist party newspaper Global Times said Cai's response drew more than 330 million views.


    “I hope people online would stop messaging me with personal attacks. I’m not a supermodel nor am I a public figure, I’m just someone who loves my motherland and a law-abiding citizen.”

    but asians do have slanted eyes, just as blacks have thick lips, caucasians have big noses, indians talk with bobbing heads and the french have garlic breath.

    i think the chinese annoyance is due to the fact that a woman of obviously chinese origin is posing with a sultry look on her face and her legs splayed wide open looking to all the world like she wants to have sex (after she has finished her squirrel noodles of course) and that is disrespectful to chinese womanhood.

    obviously if it were a caucasian woman posing like that it would be fine with the chinese, because the chinese think that caucasian woman are thoroughly immoral and always want to get laid.

    I just love the way the CCP keep on saying shit like, 'You shall pay for your dishonour' or 'You will pay with a thousand cuts for your deceitful actions' etc etc bla bla bla 1. We never seem to pay and 2. FFS whoever is in charge of propaganda at the CCP, stop watching so many of those period fantasy TV movies when China apparently ruled the world and didn't have to pee or poo.

    Their hyperbole and girly dramatic threats are a tad humorous.

    Sony's Chinese social media account gets 1-year ban for 'insulting' China

    TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Sony China’s account on China’s Twitter-like Weibo has reportedly been banned for a year after several posts were deemed “insulting” by China.


    Kyodo News reported on Tuesday (Feb. 7) that several people involved in the incident confirmed the China Cyberspace Administration’s decision, which is set to be in force until Jan. 4, 2024. It added the penalty has yet to be announced, and Sony is seeking to shorten the duration.


    Sony China’s last Weibo post was made on Jan. 4. Its page now shows the note, “The user is being banned from posting for violating relevant laws and regulations.”

    On Jan. 7, the Communist Youth League of China wrote on Weibo, “Severe punishment! Sony China’s account, accused of insulting a martyr, has been banned. On Oct. 12, 2022, Sony China shared a Weibo post containing an image with a composition highly akin to the scene of the sacrifice of martyr Qiu Shaoyun (邱少雲). The day the post was published was the 70th anniversary of Qiu Shaoyun’s sacrifice.” It added that it will “never tolerate the malicious twisting, vilifying, denying of martyrs.”


    The martyr in question is hailed as a national hero in China. The Chinese Communist Party claims that while hiding in bushes by an American military base during the Korean War, an incendiary munition landed near Qiu, who remained in position and endured the pain of being engulfed in flames until his death, so that he would not reveal the location of his troops.


    Qiu’s image is often presented as a man lying on his belly on the grassy ground, his body enveloped in red and yellow flames.


    The image that Sony posted showed a dog looking at the camera in the midst of orange maple leaves. “We believe that this purposeful design must not be a coincidence,” the Communist Youth League wrote.


    The league went on to name other offenses, such as in 2019, when Sony announced a product with the slogan, “never concede” on Dec. 13, memorial day for the Nanjing Massacre. In a 2021 “incident,” Sony scheduled a product announcement for July 7 at 10 p.m., which was the date and time when the Marco Polo Bridge Incident occurred in 1937.


    Liberty Times reported that Sony’s promotional image for New Year’s wishes had also been deleted for the text, “2023, more brilliant with ‘ni.’”


    The word “ni” (尼) references Sony’s name and is pronounced similarly to the Chinese word, “you.” However, it was also seen as a reference to Winnie the Pooh.

    Good job they didn't insult the martyrs of Tiananmen Square. I'm sure the chinkies would have been outraged.

    Nice bit of racism PH. Seeing as you have, or had, an ethnically Chinese spouse you make me curious. Where does this bitterness proceed from?

    If you had half a rational thought you would know that I have an ethnic Chinese wife . . . but she is Malaysian/Singaporean, not Mainland Chinese . . . this where the difference lies.
