Recently, German sports brand Adidas has been criticized for advertising with pro-Palestinian models, and Nike is also controversial in China for its promotional videos.

According to local media such as Foster News and Sohu, Nike's Chinese subsidiary recently released a new promotional video on its official Chinese website ahead of the Paris Olympics.

The video showed a female model licking a ping pong racket with her tongue. The advertising phrase 'Not everyone can be a winner, and victory belongs to a man who does anything for it' is also written.

After the release of the video, critical reactions poured in online.

Netizens say, "Kissing a basketball and a soccer ball is in real games, but I have never seen licking a racket during a table tennis match.", "Isn't it disparaging of Asians, especially Chinese?", "What is the purpose of making this scene? Disgusting", etc. are posting negative comments.

When some local media contacted him, Nike's official customer center responded, "'We will communicate the matter to the relevant departments, and we will reveal the specific answers as soon as the relevant departments get the results.'"
