The fact that the man is NOT Chinese and they're doing this stuff in public is a particularly incendiary issue. And the Chinese-American community in particular is very sensitive about cultural perceptions of sexualized Asian women with Western men, while Asian men are never portrayed in a sexual manner w/ non-Western women.

And one of the things that always pisses me off about porn is that there's hardly ANY Asian-American male actors. There's no shortage of Asian-American women banging white guys, black guys, but where are the men? (That's another topic for another day, Lux).

That said, this could be a career-ender for Zhang in the Asian world, but possibly a career-booster in the Western world. I have no issues w/ Zhang getting some good lovin' on the beach, and I think she is a gorgeous woman. But sadly, these paparazzi pix are going to be extremely destructive.
