This morning I read a news via the net. There is a clothes store called KULT in Germany that makes an insult clothes to China.
There are words on the T-shirts as follows (you can also see the attached photo):
F-U-C-K You China
Manufactured in Europa
Produced and designed by Philipp Plein
Hard to believe that this kind of T-shirts can be available because it's a big insult. It's the black sheep.

I agree - it is both insulting and culturally insensitive. There are better ways to protest imports than that - but at the same time, they are called "kult" meaning, they're not a mainstream store. There will always be someone saying something unpopular and insensitive. These people have apparently found a market for it. If the country's government endorses the product, that's a major problem. Hopefully, that will never happen.

There are many kinds of business in the world, but I don't agree to make the insulting products towards any countries and people to earn money. I think it's better than make some products with slogans like We love peace! No more waste! Give a cat a home etc. It's better and it can be a good business and this earning is much more honorable.

I agree - unfortunately there will always be those who feel they have to insult whatever and whoever they don't understand or fear. And, as long as they exist, businesses like this will have a market to sell hateful products. They have the right to think it, but I agree with you that they shouldn't put it on display. All it does is encourage more of it.

I really don't understand. With all frequent information flow and easy communication with different parts of the world these days, some people are just as intolerant to other cultures as they were living in a black cave. I think that's insulting and discrimination. Well, every country has its own defect and things to admire, I think everyone should be educated enough to know that by then and no country is perfect. That piece of clothing is just an extreme.

It's sad, but some will just argue that it's freedom of speech.

Yes, you can say it's a freedom of speech. But is it nice for people to say "f*uck you"? Will you allow your children to say it? When some people don't know how to respect to others, then the freedom of speech seems to be an excuse only.

I also think that is a big insult to China and all Chinese people... i hope the Chinese community in Germany will do something about this T-shirt company... because it is clearly destroying the image of a great country...
China is not perfect... but i also doesn't deserve such insult... in fact... nobody does... they may say that they are exercising freedom of speech or expression... but that should be done not at the expense of others...
