I think everybody is overthinking it a bit. In my opinion, this is not the result of racism or cultural misunderstandings. I just think the advertisement team behind this just copypasted the italian ad and thought they could get away with it, without either getting the original joke or thinking about the outcry it would cause. Or they did and they just used controversy to push their product. Either way I don't see racism.

Did it cause outcry though? I mean, a Chinese company marketing a product that's only sold in China isn't really going to care what people outside China think. So did it cause an outcry in China itself, the only place they're likely to actually care about?

I am having a hard time recalling the last time China gave a shit about anything people outside of China thought.
