Chinese elements misused

The terrible use of Chinese elements in some Hollywood blockbusters has been greeted with skepticism in China, because it ridicules Chinese culture and disrespects the Chinese audience's appreciation of film as an art form, says an article in Beijing Times. Excerpts :

In stark contrast to its box office returns of $222.7 million after the second weekend of its release in China, Hollywood blockbuster Transformers: The age of Extinction is being widely criticized for its bizarre representation of Chinese elements. To begin with, all Chinese actors have just a symbolic (and thus insignificant) role in the film and the use of Chinese brands is outrageous.
