A Chinese firm has apologised over an advert for detergent
which has provoked a storm of allegations of racism.
The manufacturer of Qiaobi said it strongly opposed and
condemned racial discrimination, and was sorry the advert had caused
controversy.
In it, a black man is stuffed head-first into a washing
machine before emerging as a light-skinned Asian.
In its initial response several days ago, the firm had
suggested that its critics overseas were too sensitive.
