Sharon Stone is big in China, but this picture may soon be removed. Christian¹ Dior is pulling adverts² featuring the Hollywood actress after / comments she made last week. She suggested the recent earthquake could be bad karma or punishment for the government’s policy in Tibet.

"I think she is ridiculous, people from all over the world have shown their sympathy for the disaster. She is an international super star went too far saying something like that. It’s just proved she is not a good character. "

The Basic Instinct/ star made her comments during the Cannes Film Festival last week. Just a year before that she was receiving / awards in Shanghai.

It's been an extrodinary experience for me to come to China, and  experience the amazing aspects of your culture.

At least, 68,000 people died as a result of the recent earthquake, it took place just / months after China’s handling of unrest in Tibet sparked³ an international outcry. Like most Tibetans Stone is Buddhist⁴.  And her comments have now reached China’s Foreign Ministry⁵.

"We are aware of the comments that Ms. Stone made, today I also notice that she passed on her apologies to the Chinese people through her agent. We hope that the efforts made by the Chinese government and the Chinese people can be recognized fully⁶ by the international community."

The Beijing Times claims Chinese cinema won’t be showing any Stone/ films. But the number of foreign movies distributed is limited anyway and it seems Stone does regret what she says. Perhaps, say some, she is the one experiencing the bad karma.
