THE
BEIJING authorities have issued a 'serious reprimand' for an ongoing car
exhibition that has stirred controversy for its scantily clad models. The
Beijing Capital Ethics Development Office said that the revealing clothing of
some models - including a deep V-neck top and a skimpy diamond-studded dress -
at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition has a "negative
social impact".
According
to online reports the statement is believed to be referring to controversial
celebrity Gan Lulu and BMW model Li Ying Zhi.
Gan
Lulu, who has been in the news for attacking her mother who had filmed Gan
walking naked in her house, wore a suit with a plunging neckline which was also
almost backless.
Li
Ying Zhi wore the translucent skimpy diamond-studded dress as she posed in
front of a BMW vehicle.
Netizens
from China's online community are split as the comment on the models' choice of
attire.
Some
have even gone to the extent of saying the models have turned the event into
"a breast exhibition with many famous cars."
Chinese
media reported that Chinese authority criticised the "vulgar
publicity" surrounding the models.
The
exhibition's organizers were asked to correct the situation on Thursday to
ensure that it does not happen again.
