As a member from a Chinese founded community, and as we have Wine as part of
our distribution repository... we feel deeply ashamed to this incident. There
seemed no need for me to comment more on this, so I am here just trying to
leave this Bug report and we are hoping to see the progress on dealing with
this shameful action soon.

We feel sorry and ashamed, again. But just to make this clear, we are not
seeing this as any kind of racial problem. As a community that pushes forward
to open, we feel not the same as anyone who led to this shameful incident, in
this emerging world-level open source movement, we hope the best to real open
source guys that knows what to share and what to charish.

Here, may conclude the bug report.
