Audi Steps Up And Tells Chinese Dealer To Remove "Kill All Japanese" Banner

Volkswagen AG’s luxury Audi (NSU) unit asked a Chinese dealer to remove a banner advocating the murder of Japanese people after a photograph of the sign went viral on the Internet amid escalating tensions between the two countries.

The anti-Japan message captured in the photo of the unidentified dealership doesn’t reflect Audi’s views, said Lu Minjie, a spokeswoman at FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., the venture that makes Audi-brand cars in China. Audi, which counts China as its biggest market, asked its dealers to be reasonable in expressing patriotism, she said.

This is hate speech and should be immediately removed. The dealer should then be removed completely and Audi should cease to do business with this group of any other that engages in hate speech.

I thought these peaceloving people only wanted to supply Walmart with cheap crap? Aren't we glad that Walmart is financing their war machine so our kids can go to war with them soon? Once again America will have to solve someone else's problem.

Dumbass Ameritards.

The only good thing to come out of it is after we flatten them, we'll have a few decades before someone else wants to take a shot.

It goes to show how racist "non-whites" can be, the western media just likes to paint white colonialists as history's only problem.

Imagine if a dealership here put up a sign that said "Kill all <insert group here>".

Good for Audi. Whoever put that banner up needs to really grow up. Maybe think about what they're doing before doing stupid stuff like this.

..If anything, whoever posted this is a possible hater. Sounds suspicious to me! Why even promote this kind of stuff!
