Some of the older Chinese paintings show the narrowed, slant style. During the Qing Dynasty, very small eyes were considered most attractive. Today, all of the Chinese girls are going for double eyelid surgery and the biggest eyes possible - so their complaints in this case are not off the mark. The model looks like a Suzy Wong type from the 70's.

It’s the make up that exaggerated the slant. I think they thought it looked edgy. But it makes them look like “dragon lady” caricatures.

I’m very partial to Asian beauty.
But that chick looks like an Alien.

This image isn’t quite big enough to make out the dust mites in her eyelashes. Can you enlarge it? It is, however, big enough that I was able to locate and identify every single bit of reflective glitter on her, ummm, chest. Can you find them all?

This campaign against companies (Chinese and foreign) for supposedly insulting in their advertising Chinese women for the way their eyes look, which supposedly confirms to Fu Manchu-type stereotypical imagery, has been going on for a couple of months now.
It is absolutely true that through WWII this imagery was commonly used at least in the US to mock East Asians in a disgraceful way. But now evoking this is just claptrap for the new breed of Chinese nationalists.
