Talk:The Hundred Days of the Dragon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am hesitating with this plotline:

A Chinese scientist invents a serum combined with a metallic mold which allows to change the look of a face. The first test is undergone by a Chinese agent because the Chinese government plans to takeover America by infiltrating and substituting all the Officials at the White House. During the campaign trail, William Lyons Selby is gunned down and replaced. And his duplicate is finally elected.

This is my question, Should I precise the term "chinese" or not? Is not this offending for the chinese? JKleo 10:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

The plot synopsises seems to be copied from a website by 'Monsieur Vincent'. Has he given his permission for them to be used? As for the issue of "Chinese"... I don't think the nation is specified in the episode (maybe I missed it though). When I watched it, it seemed to be to be a general yellow peril paranoia episode and full of stuff that really wouldn't be appropriate today. - Motor (talk) 11:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Having just watched the DVD of this episode: the episode implies China, but simply says "an oriental country." We could say the country is China, but add that anti-chinese attitudes were commonplace in the west at that time. Perhaps a brief mention of this attitude needs putting in. PS - this episode was broadcast a year after the first Manchurian Candidate film, which needs putting in. Totnesmartin 18:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
