The Chinese Consulate General in Toronto, Canada, has strongly condemned the racist and offensive game “Dirty Chinese Restaurant” and has demanded a public apology from the Canadian-based company.

The Consulate General has denounced the game, created by Markham-based Big-O-Tree Games, as racist and demeaning.

“We are aware that Canada is a multicultural society, and Ontario, especially Markham, is home to many Chinese and Chinese enterprises, who make great contribution to and win respect by the local communities. Any society with equity and justice, and anyone with a sense of morality and conscience will not tolerate the racism and discrimination,” the statement said.

The Chinese Consulate General in Toronto has demanded the Canadian-based company to immediately stop developing and selling the game, remove it from the internet, and make a formal apology publicly, adding that local authorities need to strengthen supervision and take measures to stop such acts of racial discrimination.
