At face value this is funny. But when you think about it, it is not funny. This is Chinese people laughing nervously at themselves and their recent past. This is Chinese people recognising that the past can always return with a vengeance if they forget who is boss and push the boundaries too far.
Protest by allegory.
My money is on the Chinese government pulling the Chinese peoples' intelligent little joke from the internet as soon as it wakes up to its real meaning.
