The company that wanted them to slant their eyes was Seur, a Spanish courier company.
Li Ning is just one of the many sponsers of their team, but they were not the ones doing the advertisement in question. Or telling them how to pose. That was strictly Spanish. |
I have read that and it seems that you are correct, but in the photo it seems they are wearing the CHINESE jersey

It's obvious that's for the advertisement, not for racist purporses. The point here might be that making slant eyes is considered racist in some countries (U.S.A ? U.K?) however, on the contrary, it doesn't mean anything at all in other countries.
What's more, the only ones who are talking about all this racism thing are not even chinese (nor asian). I still haven't read anything from China about this matter, so I don't why would there be a problem.
