It's not really a depiction of anything evil. (besides the obvious seven sins) its a about rising above the classic hurdles. If anything its an homage to the classic kung fu films. I fing it funny that they find this offensive, but find Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon okay.
the only thing i would say is that the creators of the advertisement did not take into consideration of the different cultures and religions, these things are very sensitive. the Dragon holds a important and sacred position in the hearts of the Chinese, and to depict as easily beaten, well, its no doubt offending.
the problem is that its shown in China, dude! if its shown in anywhere else in the world its ok. but to slam the "Dragons are Evil" meaning straight to people who respect and treat dragons as holy creatures, its insensitive.
The problem is Americans always think they can do anything and it'd be considered smart and 'culturally adjustable'. Belittling chinese symbols as these and showing that an American player could outplay or beat them just because he's on NIKE's outfit just made a fool out of themselves. What is even MORE stupid is that they think it'd be accepted by the Chinese - that is, to beat their martial arts symbols. This is enough to reflect their arrogant and idiotic mentality .....
which is to trespass other nations and create a war under the pretext of 'helping to build the nation' and still be expected to be greeted with flower petals!
Chinese people said the ad trivialized the image of the sacred "Dragon" in chinese culture, so they banned this commercial.
MEANWHILE, during the recent Olympics, the entire Spanish Basketball team slanted their eyes and nobody banned the magazine or said ANYTHING to the team about it.
Thanks for a Youtube! Otherwise people would hardly get to see anything they wanted.
I mean the comerical is entertaining, but I can see how it could be offensive, cause they are typical stereotypes of chinese culture that americans slammed into a commerical.

@Detyz lo censuraron sobretodo por vencer al los dragones. Los dragones son sagrados en china, por lo cual para ellos es una ofensa.
