The commercial was created by McDonald's for promoting "Asian-ness" for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. However, it creates heavy stereotype to Chinese people. First of all, no one eats chicken nuggets with chopsticks...no matter if you are a Chinese in America or a Chinese in China. Second of all, just because someone is Chinese does not mean he or she knows martial arts. No one fights over the last piece of chicken nuggets like this anywhere...
Lastly, being Chinese myself, I'd just like to add that we were not born with the ability to fly (as oppose to what many people would like to think). :)
This commercial is probably as stereotype to Chinese people as one can get.
