Chinese electric scooter maker apologises after risque ads spark backlash

An electric scooter maker in China is facing backlash after a series of controversial ads featuring women in sexually suggestive poses sparked widespread outrage online.

Critics say the campaign by two-wheeler maker Luyuan objectified women instead of promoting its product, prompting the company to quickly do damage control.

The controversy comes shortly after Dettol China's ad campaign drew criticism over sexist stereotypes, reigniting debate over how far brands should go to grab consumers' attention. #china #chinanews
