Supposedly, the Ferrari word ban has now been placed in effect over this episode too.
In truth, this latest dynasty isn't any different from the preceding ones. In this case, a company that caters to it's need for special toys is shown to have a total disregard for Chinese history and culture. While that's not to be unexpected from a foreign company like Ferrari, the anger that most people have is for the native city officials who allowed this.
A shame that greed and monetary power is placed a higher priority and importance over history and culture, throughout the world.
