The revised list of airports names Chengdu, Changsha, Hefei, Lanzhou, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Hohhot, Jinan, Qingdao, Nanjing, Shenyang, Dalian, Zhengzhou and Xi'an, with Wuhan as back-up. The notice from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) did not say what was meant by back-up. It did not specify the reason for the changes, but said they were made "based on the epidemic development". A total of 337 imported cases had been reported in Shanghai by Sunday, the municipal health commission said. U.S. President Donald Trump and other top officials in Washington have repeatedly criticised China's handling of the coronavirus outbreak, which has infected more than 4 million people globally and killed more than 400,000. China has bristled at Washington's accusations of wrongdoing and insists it has been open and transparent. (Reporting by Twinnie Siu in Hong Kong and Colin Qian in Beijing; Editing by Nick Macfie)

Another commenter questioned: 'I am curious how it describes male sizes.' A third user challenged: 'Tall people will have to wear larger sizes too. How can they be "extremely rotten"? I am not tall, but not slim either. I usually wear S or M. Is the copywriter dumb?' Faced with the backlash, RT-Mart, which runs more than 400 branches across China, expressed its 'deep remorse' to the public last Thursday over its 'inappropriate wording'.

Commenting on the matter, state-run publication China Women's News urged all companies to give more room 'for women to explore and choose' to avoid similar controversy (file photo) In a commentary on Saturday, state-run publication branded RT-Mart's signboard as 'vulgar marketing' that 'derided and humiliated' women. The author criticised: 'The size chart of RT-Mart's female clothes used strikingly crude words and demonstrated the extremely shallow standard of the company's culture construction.' It urged all companies to give more room 'for women to explore and choose' to avoid similar controversy. The news came after a restaurant in China apologised for asking diners to weigh themselves before entry in August. The publicity stunt was an overzealous response to a new national campaign against food waste. The beef restaurant in the central city of Changsha was heavily criticised on Chinese social media as soon as it unveiled the policy. Customers were asked to stand on scales and scan their data into an app that recommended food choices based on their weight and the dishes' calorific value, according to a previous report. data-track-module="am-external-links^external-links"> Read more: DM.later('bundle', function() DM.has('external-source-links', 'externalLinkTracker'); );
