Why a Swatch ad has been pulled from China

Swatch, the luxury Swiss watchmaker, pulled an advertisement and apologised after the image of a male model resulted in heated accusations of racism on social media. The company, taking to China's Weibo platform as well as Instagram, said it took into account 'recent concerns regarding the portrayal of a model' and that it sincerely apologises for any distress or misunderstanding this may have caused. But what happened? The Swiss watchmaker has apologised after an image resulted in heated accusations of racism on social media. Image courtesy: X Swatch has pulled an ad from China. The Swiss watchmaker has apologised after an image resulted in heated accusations of racism on social media. The company, taking to China's Weibo platform as well an Instagram, said it took into account 'recent concerns regarding the portrayal of a model'. It said the material had been removed from across the world. 'We sincerely apologise for any distress or misunderstanding this may have caused,' the company wrote. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But what happened? Why was the ad pulled? Let's take a closer look: What happened? The luxury watchmaker put up an ad in featuring an Asian male model. The advert was for the firm's for Swatch Essentials collection. The problem? The male model was pulling at his eyes – a gesture that is evocative of racist taunts against people of Asian origin. The image caused a firestorm on social media with many accusing Swatch of being racist against Chinese people. Swatch quickly apologised, but the netizens were having none of it. Mei Hua Long, an influencer with over a million followers, slammed the advertisement as 'racism towards Asians'. Another influencer, Nie Hua Xiong, who also has over a million followers, claimed the ad was trying to 'disgust Asians and degrade Chinese' at a time "when the watch industry is going downhill". Swatch is 'only afraid for its profits,' a Weibo user wrote. 'You can apologise, but I will not forgive.' 'They make money from us and still dare to discriminate against Chinese people. We would be spineless if we don't boycott it out of China,' another Weibo added. However, not everyone was quick to condemn Swatch. Swatch, which also makes Omega, Longines and Tissot watches, depends heavily on China for revenue. AP On the app RedNote, a user named Dylan wrote: 'Some people will say those who feel offended are fragile, but this is a different situation – slanted eyes are an insulting gesture pointing to Asians made by the whites.' Another RedNote commenter named You Ren Ray added, 'The first thing to do after feeling offended is to boycott [the brand], instead of contemplating whether the other party intentionally thought of doing something.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Even if I don't see racism [in the ad], there is no way to judge how this slanted eyes gesture can add value to the product, unless the move aims at getting attention with promotional effect for free,' Wai, a third RedNote user, said. 'Slanted eyes' and racism The 'slanted eyes' gesture is said to be particularly racist against people of Japanese and Chinese origin. The adjective itself first appeared in the 1860s. It was seen in Western newspapers and in magazines from the 20th Century. The Chinese men and women were also portrayed with eyes having slits. For context, the US passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882. The noun slant-eye comes from the 1920s. It gained currency as a slur at the beginning of World War II. It was also used to refer to the Vietnamese during the Vietnam war. It has also been used as a slur against Asians. Swatch, which also makes Omega, Longines and Tissot watches, depends heavily on China for revenue. Nearly a third of the group's sales last year coming from the China, Hong Kong and Macau region. Revenue for the watchmaker last year slumped 14.6 per cent to $8.4 billion in 2024. This was due to a downturn in demand in China, where Swatch said it was seeing 'persistently difficult market conditions and weak demand for consumer goods overall'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD This isn't the first time Chinese consumers have flexed their muscles. In 2024, some tried to boycott Uniqlo, a Japanese firm, after it announced its cotton was not from Xinjiang. In 2023, Dior, the French luxury brand Dior similarly faced ire for its advert with an East Asian model pulling up the corner of her eye. In 2021, Chinese consumers announced a mass boycott against H&M, Nike and Adidas. This came after the companies said they were worried about alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang province. Consumers also went after Dolce & Gabbana in 2018 after it put up clips showing a model using Italian food via chopsticks. The Italian fashion firm's goods were taken down from Chinese e-commerce sites. It also called off its Shanghai fashion show. With inputs from agencies

Gang violence and Khalistani extremism threaten Canada's safety: Report

Canada faces a nexus of gang-driven extortion and Khalistani extremism, threatening public safety, community trust, and bilateral ties with India, a report cited on Monday. Recently, Surrey's 'Kaps Cafe' restaurant, owned by Indian comedian Kapil Sharma and his wife Ginni Chatrath, was riddled with bullets for the second time in less than a month. On August 7, attackers fired at least 25 rounds into the cafe and left behind a Molotov cocktail-like device (crude bomb). The brazen daylight attack came just weeks after a similar shooting on July 10, shortly after the cafe opened, a report in 'Khalsa Vox' mentioned. 'The Kap's Cafe attacks were allegedly claimed by members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, a criminal organisation notorious in India for extortion and contract killings. Its reach into Canada, aided by encrypted apps and diaspora networks, demonstrates how seamlessly Indian gangs have globalised their operations," the report highlighted. "What complicates this crisis further is the ideological layer of Khalistani extremism. While the August 7 attack bore the Bishnoi gang's fingerprints, the July 10 assault was claimed on social media by Harjit Singh Laddi, an alleged Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) fugitive," it added. The report mentioned that the attacks in Surrey are not isolated crimes, but reflect a broader crisis where gangsters, terrorists, and ideological extremists intersect, undermining Canada's security and social harmony. It emphasised that Ottawa cannot simply treat this as a local law enforcement matter and must respond decisively by implementing stronger laws against transnational gangs. Additionally, the report stressed that the Canadian authorities must establish closer intelligence-sharing with India and remain committed to addressing Khalistani extremism without political hesitation. According to the report, though the political response has been rhetorically strong, it has not yielded any concrete results. Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke has urged Ottawa to designate the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist organisation, asserting that extortion and targetted shootings constitute 'economic terrorism'. Similar demands have been made by Canadian leaders in British Columbia, Alberta, and Brampton. Canada, however, the report stated, remains cautious. It added that designating the Bishnoi gang a terror outfit would carry significant legal and diplomatic effects, allowing authorities to freeze assets and increase surveillance. Such a move would support India's longstanding demand for strong measures against Khalistani extremists taking refuge in Canada. 'For too long, Canada has downplayed this growing nexus. The bullets fired into Kap's Cafe should be a wake-up call: this is no longer just about extortion — it is about safeguarding Canada's credibility, safety, and unity,' the report noted.

Family & I safe, says YouTuber Elvish Yadav day after shooting outside Gurgaon home

A day after more than two dozen gunshots were fired outside Siddharth Elvish Yadav's home in Gurgaon's Sector 56, the 27-year-old YouTuber on Monday said that he and his family are safe. The accused are yet to be traced, said police, adding that a breakthrough is expected soon. Reaching out to his followers, Yadav posted a story on Instagram, which read, 'I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for your good wishes. My family and I are safe and well. Your kind thoughts and concern are truly appreciated. Thank you.' Three masked men — riding a motorcycle — allegedly fired more than two dozen shots outside the YouTuber's home on Sunday morning. The 27-year-old was not at home when the incident happened. No one was injured, said police, even as the bullets hit the first floor and stilt area of the three-storey residential building in Sector 56. Yadav lives on the second incident was captured on a CCTV camera. Hours after the incident, the Himanshu Bhau Gang, via a post on Instagram, claimed responsibility for the attack. The YouTuber was targeted, according to the post, as he promoted betting platforms. The Sector 56 Police Station lodged an FIR on charges of attempt to murder, criminal acts by multiple accused with common intention, and offences under the Arms Act. Station House Office Vinod Kumar on Monday told The Indian Express that the accused are likely to be nabbed in a day or two. 'The Crime Investigation Agency is on it, so are teams from our station and others. We should have news within another two days.' In his police complaint after the incident, Elvish Yadav's father on Sunday said: 'If we were outside (on the balcony) at that time, we could have lost our lives. We do not have any kind of enmity with anyone and neither have we received any call or message before this.' The attack marked the second such incident in recent weeks targeting celebrities popular among the city's youth. Last month, singer and rapper Rahul Fazilpuria allegedly came under fire near the Southern Peripheral Road in Sector 71. He escaped unhurt after assailants, arriving in another car, opened fire as he stood beside his SUV. Police later arrested a Sonipat resident accused of conducting reconnaissance for that shooting. When asked if any link has been found between the incident and other similar incidents, including the one related to rapper Fazilpuria, the SHO said, 'Nothing so far. Even for the post by the Bhau Gang, our cyber team is on it (checking its authenticity). They tend to post and claim responsibility just like that, without reason sometimes. If they are found responsible, we will definitely nab them.'
