Chinese animators demand ‘sincere’ apology from Jimmy Kimmel

A Chinese animation demanding yet another apology from Jimmy Kimmel after his “kill everyone in China” comment caused outrage, has gone viral in the country he offended.

The US comedian has since apologised twice in public for the remark made by a six-year-old child on his late-night talk show aired on US television network ABC on October 16.

But for Liu Gangqiang, one of the eight people who worked on the animation, those apologies were not enough. “His [Kimmel’s] apology is not sincere,” he said.

“It seems like he still doesn’t respect Chinese,” said the 25-year-old project manager of a social media company. “So we decided to make an animation to express our demands for a sincere apology.”

Liu, who was an international politics major and has many friends studying and working in America, said he thought the Chinese community’s response to the incident was not strong. He hoped the animation could open up a rational and equal discussion among Chinese and Americans.
