BEIJING - Those who insult Chinese people should pay the price in order to deter would-be offenders from following suit, Chinese state media said in a sharply worded commentary, after remarks by a UBS economist about pigs sparked an outcry in China.
“Does this matter? It matters if you are a Chinese pig. It matters if you like eating pork in China,” Donovan said in comments that some interpreted as referring to people, not livestock. “Whether or not Donovan was fired is still unknown, but those who insult Chinese people must pay the price,” the People’s Daily, the newspaper of China’s Communist Party, said in a commentary published late on Friday.
“But you don’t need to be a native speaker to understand the derogatory connection between the word ‘pig’ and a culture,” Hong, wrote in a post on his personal WeChat account.The stakes are high for foreign companies like UBS looking to expand their presence in China as the world’s second-largest economy further opens up its financial sector.
