China embraces, woke America denounces ‘Turandot’
The Curse of Turandot, loosely based on Giacomo Puccini’s 1926 opera, opened in 64,000 Chinese cinemas with box office receipts of RMB 15 million (US$2.3 million), a disappointing result for a film with a RMB 300 million budget.
Directed by Xiaolong Zheng, the film preserves little of the original plot except for the East-West romance between the mythical Chinese Princess Turandot and the Persian Prince Calaf, played by Disney Channel regular Dylan Sprouse.
One Chinese movie critic praised it as “a popcorn movie” and warned viewers not to expect too much, while others were less charitable. Nowhere in the Chinese media, though, was a voice raised against alleged stereotyping, cultural appropriation or so-called Orientalism.
Meanwhile, in New York, the Metropolitan Opera revived Franco Zeffirelli’s opulent staging of the Puccini opera, to the virtuous outrage of the politically correct media.
New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini, for one, inveighed: “Much has changed since the pandemic forced the closure of cultural institutions around the world, including a wave of anti-Asian hostility that has compelled the arts to re-examine lingering prejudices and racist stereotypes.
“For some, Turandot – not just Zeffirelli’s extravagant production, but the opera itself, set in the fantastical Peking of legend – is an example of the problem. As much as I love the music, and as often as I’ve seen (or put up with) this staging, it was impossible not to view it this time in this context.”
Grumblings about Asian stereotypes in the opera have been around for years. In fact, Turandot never had anything to do with China – not, that is, until the Chinese adopted it as their “de facto national opera,” as the UK Opera News wrote in 2012.
Based on a 12th-century story by the Persian poet Nizami, it became a staple of Western theater thanks to Carlo Gozzi’s Venetian version of 1762, translated and adapted in 1801 by Friedrich Schiller.

Reviews for "From Plastic to Plush: Evolution of Naruto Keychain Mascot Materials"
1. Dennis - 2 out of 5 stars - The Naruto keychain mascot was a huge disappointment for me. The quality of the keychain was very poor and it felt like it could break at any moment. The colors were also faded and not as vibrant as they appeared in the pictures online. I also found it difficult to attach the keychain to my keys as the clasp was flimsy and kept coming off. Overall, I regret purchasing this product and would not recommend it to any Naruto fan.
2. Laura - 1 out of 5 stars - I was really excited to receive the Naruto keychain mascot, but it turned out to be a complete letdown. The size of the keychain was much smaller than I expected and the details were not as clear as they appeared in the product images. The paint job was also sloppy with noticeable smudges and inconsistencies. It felt like a cheaply made knockoff rather than an official merchandise. Save your money and look for a better quality Naruto keychain elsewhere.
3. Jonathan - 2 out of 5 stars - The Naruto keychain mascot was a disappointment in terms of its durability. Within a week of using it, the paint started to chip off, making it look worn out and cheap. The material used for the keychain was also flimsy and bent easily. It's a shame because I really liked the design, but the poor quality just ruined it for me. Would not buy again.
