China's Qiaobi Detergent Advertisement Causes Outrageous Provocation. See Why by flexflex: 4:54pm On May 27, 2016
A Chinese detergent advertisement which was intended to promote the product has led to provocation and outrageous reactions from the outside world.
The advert shows a black man being shoved into a washing machine and turned into a Chinese.

The commercial for the Qiaobi brand shows a black man whistling and winking at a young Chinese woman, who calls him over, puts a detergent packet into his mouth, and forces him headfirst into a washing machine.

She sits on the lid while the man shrieks. Moments later an Asian man emerges in clean clothes, and the woman grins.

Many on social media were miffed and angered by the advert.

Some said the commercial was a crooked take on a similar Italian commercial , in which a Caucasian man was turned into a black man with the slogan: "Coloured is better".

The Chinese version uses the same music and sound effects as the Italian clip.

The Chinese advert has been viewed on YouTube more than one million times. The user who posted it, Benoit Florencon, described the film as "raw racism".

China has historically experienced almost no migration by people of African descent, although the population has grown in recent years as China has risen to become the continent's biggest trading partner.

Traditional attitudes prizing white skin in women have contributed to bias against dark-skinned people.

The Shanghai Leishang cosmetics company, which produces the gel-capsule product, has not responded to calls seeking comment.

The advert was reportedly shown in cinemas earlier this month.
