An American fast-food chain has partnered with a Chinese state broadcaster for its latest advertisement to mark the 40th anniversary of China’s economic reforms.

KFC released the ad Thursday featuring celebrities from two generations — actor Huang Bo and pop idol Lu Han — who time travel on a train, tracing China’s development since it opened to foreign investment in 1978. The two-minute video co-produced with China Central Television highlights the country’s infrastructure advancements, including high-speed railways and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, as well as the technological progress achieved in the last four decades.

KFC was the first fast-food chain to open in China in 1987 and has now over 5,000 restaurants in 1,100 cities. (Image: KFC's official Weibo account)

Randy, looks like the video owner shut it down.

It's still there, but embedding on other sites isn't allowed - click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giuyMTfXoyQ

I'm not sure why that's an issue, since they get the view count anyway, but the video owner has that as an option when they post a video.

I need to remember to check that when I post something. Sorry 'bout that!

You'll see these, I imagine, just about EVERYWHERE in China - we have at least 2 or 3 here in Yulin.

重庆万州公交车坠江事故原因公布:乘客与司机激烈争执、互殴至车辆失控。

The reason for the crash of the heavy bus crash in chongqing was announced: the passengers had a fierce dispute with the driver and beat the vehicle out of control

from the Shanghaiist -

Quote
While much of the online rage has been directed at the female passenger, many Chinese netizens have also questioned the actions of the driver, pointing out that he doesn’t appear to “lose control of the vehicle,” as the police account of the incident describes, but instead seems to deliberately spin the wheel sharply. Some have called the driver “suicidal.”
