The controversy is supposed to be that they eliminated the black character and Chebacca from the Chinese poster.
Outraged prevails in the "Twitterverse".
Excuse me while I picked my way around the dead bodies from recent terrorist attacks to feign outrage...
Have at it...

Notice the storm troops are also better lit. Coincidence?

Big deal. The Chinese like fake robots better than furry fake animals and fake black jedis. Maybe BLM can hold a protest in Beijing and demand compensation from the Communist party for distress.

The array of storm troopers is meant to bring to mind the terracotta soldiers of Chin Shih Huang Ti’s tomb.
The Chinese poster is less visually cluttered, too.

Different cultures respond differently to things. That clearly is news to the media.

It is apparent to me that the Chinese are racist against wookies.
Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen a live wookie in a Chinese restaurant? Clearly that was not chicken you just ate...

Even the Chinese know that there is no such thing as a negro clone storm trooper.

I sure have. Two female specimens at the same table. Grub piled on high at the Chinese buffet. Each went back for seconds.

The extreme racism of American society is a central theme in communist anti-american propaganda.

Alternate explanation: Boyega departs from the storm-troopers. That’s a dangerous “hero” for Chinese society.
