This is a commercial for Asience hair products. It features a famous Chinese actress. This commercial is both positive and negative. It is positive in a sense that it is a Chinese actress staring in a Japanese commercial without being an idol for her homeland. On the other hand though, it does accentuate the differences between Asian's and Westerners in order to promote the product. She is the center of attention and all of the White people around her can't help but stare at her and that she is much better than them. In my reading there was another commercial (that I could not find) that actually uses a contest format where the Chinese actress is chosen over her western competitors.
