LUSAKA Josh Manson Ducks Jersey , Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Skipper of the Zambia national soccer team Christopher Katongo has been kicked out of the team currently preparing for an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger on Wednesday, the country's soccer governing body confirmed in a statement on Tuesday.

The 2012 Africa Cup of Nations winning captain was excused from the team due to alleged indiscipline while in camp Derek Grant Ducks Jersey , according to unconfirmed reports.

While not categorically stating the real reason behind the expelling, the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) said the move was a 'bold decision' to bolster team spirit and unity.

The statement said coach Honor Janza was trying to take bold measures to his squad that will face Niger.

"Janza intends to make drastic changes to the squad to face Niger on Wednesday therefore he wished to spare the blushes of the captain arising out of the possible omission from the team John Gibson Ducks Jersey ," the statement said.

"No player will be kept in camp as has been the case lately once the final 18 players have been named. This is to avoid negative energy that might emanate from players that will be left out of the team," it added.

Katongo was relegated to the bench during the game against Niger away in Niamey on Saturday and only came in as a substitute in the 78th minute.

Local media reported that the captain was leading a faction within the team Jakob Silfverberg Ducks Jersey , a move that angered the technical bench.

Zambia faces Niger on Wednesday at the ultra-modern Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola city on the Copperbelt Province in a must-win encounter in order to brighten chances of qualifying for next year's finals to be staged by Morocco.

Zambia has only managed to get two points from three games played so far. The Chipolopolo drew 0-0 with Mozambique in September before losing 2-1 to Cape Verde during the same month. Last Saturday, the team settled for a barren draw against Niger.

Cape Verde leads Group F with six points Ryan Miller Ducks Jersey , followed by Mozambique with five points. Zambia and Niger have two points each.

The Niger national football team arrived on Monday afternoon.

BEIJING， June 5 (Xinhua) -- A piece of detergent advertisement shown recently on TV in China's business hub Shanghai drew criticism of racism， but those familiar with China would view the matter from a different perspective.

Late last month， a Shanghai-based French photographer posted video of a commercial he had seen on local television. In the ad， a pretty Chinese woman responds to the flirtatious advances of an African house painter by popping a detergent pellet into his mouth and then shoving him into her washing machine.

After a few seconds， she lifts the lid with a smile to reveal that the black man has been transformed -- into the pale-skinned young Chinese man of her dreams. An anodyne tagline follows: "Change begins with Qiaobi (the brand name of the detergent product in the ad)."

Jeff Yang， a columnist for the Wall Street Journal， quoted his friend Paula Madison， a former diversity officer of NBC Universal who had made regular visits to China since 2011， as saying: "Is the ad awful? Yes. But the most racist ad I've ever seen? Are you kidding? Not by a long stretch."

Madison noted that as a black woman with Chinese ancestry， she is very interested in how black people are treated in China.

Madison said the commercial is rather a questionable attempt at humor， rather than racism， given that most Chinese have no direct exposure to black people.

"I refer to it as 'shadeism' -- people in China think of dark skin as something associated with working in the fields， with being a poor peasant，" she said， adding that it doesn't automatically produce negative associations.

In fact， a study jointly conducted by researchers at Washington State University and Towson University found that attitudes among high school students in China toward African-Americans were generally more positive than their stereotypes of Americans in general.

Nevertheless， those students who had extensive exposure to U.S.-based media were more likely to perceive African-Americans as "poorer，" "less moral，" "less polite" and "less intelligent" than other Americans.

The researchers ultimately concluded that the results "can be explained by how African-Americans are portrayed more negatively in American media."

"I've never personally experienced racism in China...，" said Madison. "But I have experienced it in Hollywood without question. And I think that China generally sees black people through the realm of pop culture， whose arbiters continue to perpetuate the myth that people of color don't 'play well' in that market."

Wang pointed out that if Americans are aghast at a Chinese ad featuring literal whitewashing， they should consider that the figurative whitewashing performed by Hollywood is a big part of what made it possible.

"Which means that -- to contradict the ad's tagline -- change doesn't begin with Qiaobi， it begins at home，" he said.
