BEIJING — A lavish four-hour Lunar New Year show televised to millions across China on Thursday night set off a flood of indignation with its caricatures featuring blackface and African men in animal suits. The gala, televised by China’s state broadcaster, featured a well-known Chinese actress as an African woman with exaggerated buttocks, a large chest and a face painted black. Carrying a platter of fruit on her head, she was accompanied by an African man dressed as a monkey. {snip}The skit was set in Kenya, home to a new Chinese-built railroad between the capital, Nairobi, and the coastal town of Mombasa that is part of China’s Belt and Road development initiative.

ok, FRiends, no comments that can be censored, 'kay?

it is pretty interesting that Kenyans used the Chinese to build the Nairobi railroad instead of, say, oh I don't know, American contractors?

I think that American companies cannot legally provide any money back to those making the decisions, in the countries.

I do not believe China has any such compunctions.

Big, big difference.

And a huge advantage for Chinese companies.

It’a the Chinese who are slaughtering all the wildlife in Africa. The managers at the Chinese factories in Africa rent helicopters on weekends and kill elephants for their tusks and anything else they can kill for profit.

"What is disgusting is that we won’t hear any official complaint from African governments who are complicit in the recolonization of Africa by China."

They're too busy blaming whitey and killing each other over it.

Anti-Chinese Mongolian Nazis give renewed meaning to the word, Huns. Apparently, the name is quite recyclable.

Time to activate my White Privilege Cloaking Device and stay out of the middle of this one. Better to just watch from a safe distance and munch on popcorn.

Ignorant liberals at the NYT and in the MSN have obviously never heard of Monkey King in the Chinese classic “A Journey to the West”!

For those libs who have trouble with reading comprehension there are episodes from the book on You Tube.
