“Treasure my root,” Chinese-American Actor Apologize as “Monster Hunter” Dialogues Accused of “Insulting Chinese”
The movie “Monster Hunter” released a few days ago was dropped from the Chinese market due to an insulting incident. MC Jin (Jin Au-Yeung), who was accused of insulting China, issued a video clip to apologize. He wrote “treasure my root” in simplified Chinese and emphasize that he will always be proud of his lineage.
The incident originated from a scene in the movie where a soldier played by MC Jin said, “Look at my knees,” and another person ask, “What kind of knees are these?”. Then MC Jin answered, “Chinese”. The Chinese subtitle didn’t translate the dialogue as “Chinese” but as “There is gold under men's knees”. However, Chinese netizens still lambasted the dialogue, with online comments saying that the dialogue is originated from a World War II-era nursery rhyme, “Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these,” which was seen as a mockery of the Chinese and Japanese tradition of kneeling and was considered discriminatory. After the insulting controversy, Chinese cinemas were notified by the authorities to take down the film, and those who had bought tickets were refunded, while the producer is working on a new version.

Canada looks on as Biden rallies other allies to counter China
The White House has confirmed that U.S. President Joe Biden plans to meet later this year with his Japanese, Australian and Indian counterparts — a four-country grouping dubbed the “Quadrilateral Security Dialogue” or QUAD.
The announcement came just days after Chinese Communist Party General-Secretary Xi Jinping marked the centenary of the party with an incendiary oratory that was short on Marxism but long on nationalist promises “to build a new type of international relations.”
This is Xi’s doctrine of “the community of the common destiny of mankind” under future People’s Republic of China (PRC) global domination, which includes making irrelevant the current institutions that promote peace, prosperity and justice, such as the United Nations, World Trade Organization, G-20 and G-7.
