A skit on China’s biggest Lunar New Year TV show has sparked widespread criticism and accusations of racism. In a comedy routine celebrating Chinese-African ties, an Asian actress appears in blackface and with exaggerated buttocks. Using make-up to lampoon black people, a practice known as blackface is seen by many as deeply offensive. The annual state media variety show is hugely popular and has up to 800 million viewers. Some observers have pointed out that this sketch would not have been intended as offensive to Africans.
