"Any perception of ill-will was from people who are not happy with Beijing’s cooperation with Africa" It is not for Africans to identify racism, it is for the CCP to dictate what is it is not racist. Hmmmmmm

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that China gives exactly zero F's about racism and racial sensitivity.

They don't have any black people to play black people. Japan had similar problems with Godzilla.

Hey, you can do what you like with them Uighurs and Falung Gong, but you really stepped over the line now, buddy!

Yes I do know that. There are also black people in Norway, Russia and Scotland- just not many, and realistically someone might have to compromise on the casting to insure there were actual actors involved instead of people who matched skin colors with their potrayal. Edit: What is the purpose to making odd rules to reflect our mystical concepts of racism based on cultural copy? Its hard enough to explain actual racism. No need to muddy the water with nonsense.

Then have the actors play Africans without coloring their skins - it rarely adds to the performance. "X" face is offensive in any context, whether its Mickey Rooney in yellow face in Breakfast in Tiffany, or politicians in black face (like the Premier of Canada) or Chinese in white/black face. !<

Many African regimes are so desperate for Chinese money and investment that this will be ignored by them entirely and it's unlikely to make a blip on news networks in Africa.

The fact of the matter is that Chinese Racism is international. There isn't a race, or nation, that Chinese Agit-prop doesn't decry as less then or inferior. (Sometimes they like Russia) To the Chinese media machine, the Chinese are the superior race, and all other peoples exist only to service the Chinese people in their ascendency.

Many of their popular action movies feature Chinese characters routinely defeating the corrupt, morally bankrupt, and dishonest Europeans, Africans and Americans. They feature caricatures that would make 1980's movies uncomfortable...

Chinese people are taught that their culture is superior in everyway to every other culture. Chinese "Unity" is superior to any other nation, race, or form of governance.

Essentially China now is what England/West Europe/America was in the 1700-1940 period. The colonial period, without the ability land grab because of international law. (this is why they are watching Ukraine very closely)

>that this will be ignored by them entirely

Actually I'm pretty sure this made massive news in most of Africa and multiple African governments called on Beijing to explain this incident. Probably why this hasn't happened ever since and the Chinese government has included Africans and not this racist bs in every New Year show ever since

Did you mean to say "less than"?

They also deny that Taiwan is a country, that they are committing genocide on the Uighur peoples, that waters 3,000 miles distant are international territory, and that there exists a cartoon character named Winnie the Pooh.

China only sees racism when it only applies or affect them in anything way. Other than they are blinded by their face.

How does your sentiment stand when it was Africans in Africa who were offended by this and were trying to "hold China accountable"? Nobody in America or the rest of the West cared.

And this show was supposed to celebrate African-Chinese friendship, which is the entire reason why Africans got mad
