Beijing will hold 'necessary talks' with Air China over London travel advice


The Chinese government will talk to Air China about the flagship carrier's offensive travel advice, a Foreign Affairs Ministry official said, after underlining the country's respect for all ethnic groups and races.

Questioned at the Foreign Affairs Ministry's regular press conference on Thursday, spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, "Relevant departments will have the necessary talks with Air China, and we believe Air China will investigate about this and properly deal with it."

Hua was responding to a furor that erupted after CNBC drew attention to a feature on London in the September edition of Wings of China, Air China's inflight magazine.

The feature warned tourists, "London is generally a safe place to travel, however precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people."

The travel advice caused outrage in London, where lawmakers called for an apology from the company, which is one of China's biggest airlines.

London lawmaker Virendra Sharma wrote to the Chinese ambassador to the U.K. to demand an apology, according to the BBC. "I am shocked and appalled that even today some people would see it as acceptable to write such blatantly untrue and racist statements," Sharma told the BBC.

"Tips from Air China" on safety when visiting London

In response to the complaints, Air China blamed the in-house Wings of Chinaeditorial team for the offensive comment. In a statement translated from Chinese by CNBC, Wings of China said that the comment had been misinterpreted by the media and readers but said it was sorry if the travel advice had made customers "feel uncomfortable."

Air China also released a statement on Thursday, translated by CNBC, in which it did not apologize, but called the advice was "inappropriate," and said it had ordered the removal of all copies of the magazine from its planes immediately.

Hua from the Chinese foreign ministry did not pass comment on the article, saying she was not aware of specifics, but signaled it wasn't consistent with official thinking.

"The policy of the Chinese government on ethnic groups and races is clear and consistent. We uphold equality among all ethnic groups and oppose all forms of racial discrimination," she said, according to a transcript posted on the ministry's website.

Hua was asked at the press conference for travel advice on Britain.

"Normally, we issue safety alert if the region is highly risky and conflict-stricken. For the UK, there has been no such thing so far," she said, adding, "We hope that people from the two sides can get to know each other better through more mutual visits."

A nation of 56 ethnicities, China itself grapples with tensions between the communities and is pursuing a policy of equality.

But Chinese companies have been criticized previously for their depictions of various races. In May, a Chinese laundry detergent-maker apologized for an advertisement that showed an Asian woman shoving a dirt-smeared black man into a washing machine, only for him to emerge as a clean Asian man.

The Air China embarrassment came as the rising world power is increasingly thrust into the international spotlight. The behaviors of its many tourists, and even its government officials have come under heavy global scrutiny and criticism, thwarting President Xi Jinping's efforts to promote the ancient culture as a soft power after economic reforms propelled the country to the world's second largest economy in just three decades.

Air China magazine apologises over 'racist' article about London

Neil Connor, beijing
9 SEPTEMBER 2016 • 8:30AM

The publishers of an Air China inflight magazine which warned about ethnic minority areas of London have issued an apology, as Chinese media and public back the airline for giving people the ’truth’ about the British capital.

Air China’s 'Wings of China' magazine sparked a race row after it warned visitors that “precautions are needed when entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people".

The remarks caused an outcry among London’s MPs, with two saying they would seek answers from the Chinese Ambassador to the UK.

A 'Letter of Apology' from Wings of China's publisher, Air China Media Group, admitted the article "caused misunderstanding”.

“(It) created a huge negative influence to the operation, image and reputation of Air China. We express our deep apology for this,” it added.

It is unclear if Air China Media Group is controlled by Air China, however, both companies are under under the umbrella of the state-owned China National Aviation Holding Company.

Air China itself said it has “hundreds” of magazines on its flights in many different languages, and the articles that they carry “are not Air China’s opinions”.

"Air China has withdrawn the magazine on all flights after noticing the problem, and demanded the magazine’s publishing house learn lessons and avoid similar problems from happening again," it said.

Chinese media threw their support behind Air China, with The Global Times, a state-run tabloid with a history of publishing highly-provocative commentaries, accusing Britain of having double standards.

"Air China was criticised by UK media for being racist when it reminded people to take precautions in areas populated by Indian, Pakistani and black people when visiting the UK,” it said in a Tweet posted on Sina Weibo, China’s version of Twitter.

“But on the other hand, the UK government announced it would spend £2million to build a huge concrete wall in Calais, France, to stop refugees,” it said, in a post which mixed up British citizens with illegal refugees.

The newspaper also carried an editorial on Thursday which accused the London MPs of being “aggressive and exaggerating”. It said they seized on the issue to “promote their political correctness”.

Chinese social media also overwhelmingly backed Air China.

“It is absolutely the truth,” said one comment on Sina Weibo. “Let the people who oppose this take a walk in those dangerous areas in middle of night.”

“Why should (Air China) apologise?,” said another.

Would recommend the Weibo commentators to walk around predominantly white areas in Isle of Dogs, Shadwell, Lewisham after dark....

I do not understand why it is no longer acceptable to publish factual articles.

Why should any person or organisation have to apologise for telling the truth? In the old days it was the other way round.

Air China has confirmed what us forum need have been discussing about all day long. Political correctness is only suitable for Hilary Clinton who wants more votes from more segments of the population.
