AN 18-YEAR-OLD FEMALE US middle school student posted a photo of herself wearing a traditional Chinese qipao at her graduation party, which inspired hot discussions online. Thepaper.cn comments:
Of all the comments, one by a Chinese student criticizing the woman for wearing the traditional Chinese dress, accusing her of "cultural colonialism", was reposted the most times.
There is no data showing how many of those who reposted the Chinese student's comment agree with it and how many disagree. However, some Chinese said the woman's deed was "cultural appropriation".
