There’s a bemuseageddon at the UNSW business school, which has a Facebook clip for Lunar New Year. It stars a young blond woman who starts by saying she does not speak Chinese, but she has a friend who does and the pair proceed to bail up passers-by on campus to tell them about new year. So, does the bestie do all the talking? Not on your Year of the Pig she doesn’t. Chinese students, of which there are more than a few thousand on campus, are said to wonder why one of them did not get to star. Academics ask what this has to do with bized.
