Of course it is. 

Number 1 question:  " What did they do to her face!?". They made her look Chinese. Original outcry was her facial features being "different" and not so much ugly. Chun-Li was changed to be inline with western tastes. CAPCOM are spinless about. I remember when the middle eastern guy was revealed for Tekken 7 there was outcry to have him removed. On the surface "Middle Eastern people do bad things!" In reality discrimination even unintendedly so.

OK then, let's get Chris Redfield too then, whose face they also changed:

Are you going to tell me they changed his face too because people were upset that he looked "too American"?

Chris was always American? I dont know what your getting at? I dont think you do either

Here original face didn't look Chinese. It just looked bad. It looked like a baby dolls face. Apparently they only changed her face. Her character model on the whole needed to be updated. Her models proportions were/are awful.

Her original face clearly looked of asian origin. You dont have like it, but its clear they were playing up asian features. When has Chun-Li ever had normal proportions?

Her original face looked like a blow up doll. She didn't look Asian, she looked like a character from a poorly modeled mobile game.

What I'm saying is, they didn't just change her face, and people didn't just complain about her face. They complained about the face of American male too, and his was changed. So, you're putting too much emphasis on the race.

The old face was better imo.

Yes, she's Chinese. She's always looked a certain way in prior games. Always had certain features, and the original model for this game didn't respect that at all, and made her look like a doll. The updated model is an improvement, for sure, but still not the best model of her they've made.

Chun Li looked of chinese origin for the first time. One that was not otherworldly attractive/perfect. That was the point of her original face.  It's in line with how characters are being designed today (New Lara Croft, entirety of MK cast in X). Her new face completely throws all that away for typical anime face with all. 

Chris top shot looks like early build face and then updated face based off the same general design. Typical of development. Not comparable.

I think you're giving Capcom way too much credit.
