Chinese netizens object to Rain’s appointment as Goodwill ambassador of ShanDong province
World star Rain has attracted much objection from Chinese netizens after it was known that he was appointed the publicity ambassador for China ShanDong province.
It was reported in Chinese media on 24th December that Rain was appointed the publicity ambassador for China ShanDong province, also the hometown of Confucius and a province with long history and culture.
According to the report, Rain was chosen for his healthy image and also his fame in both Asia and also in Hollywood. In the report, it was said that Rain “has readily accepted the proposal from ShanDong province. ShanDong look forward to become one of the representative tourism spot in Asia.
But many Chinese netizens have commented, “This is not any place but Confucius’ hometown and they got a Korean to be the ambassador?”, “Even though I’m a fan of Rain, I don’t want him to be the ambassador of ShanDong”, “There are many Chinese celebrities from ShanDong, why choose a foreigner?” etc.
And as for the objections from the Chinese netizens, ShanDong province has kept cautious with their words about their stand to it.
aiyatheydidnt unanimously agrees with the article... and then spiraled into a Huang Xiao Ming picspam and lust fest.
omonatheydidnt don't actually seem to get the article. Most of them seem to be a little too obsessed with things that are Korean that they are seeing the objection and freaking out calling it a personal attack on Rain. In reality, China is pretty fond of Rain. The objection is solely towards the government having chosen a Korean instead of a Chinese celebrity. I just can't believe they are calling China's reaction racist...
Personally, I feel if they were after an internationally recognized celebrity... um China actually has more actors who are internationally famous and have done more films in Hollywood than Rain. I'm really curious about the reason they picked Rain.
