Mr Chen copied Romans as everyone around imitates others. People's people love to promote with "white skin" and talk about "mixed blood". What's commendable in Chinese folks is that they don't treat "blacks" the way "white Americans" have treated them a few decade back. Having said that, however, aside the famous adverts, I do not see a "white skin", a "black" or any "mixed blood" geting into any PRC's leadership position in this or perhaps the next century too. The foreign influence can, and will, only be seen in the marketing of cheap local products.
