Abstract
Balenciaga, a famous luxury brand, was heavily criticized and boycotted by Chinese netizens after mishandling a queue cut incident in a famous French department store in Paris, involving Chinese customers and local staff. The incident caused an uproar on Chinese social media and generated more than 20 million views on Weibo (a famous Chinese social media platform) within two days. Chinese consumers defined the incident as racial discrimination and spontaneously launched a boycott campaign against Balenciaga. This chapter will mainly focus on public opinions and official responses from all parties, analyze the causes and consequences of this incident, and explain how Balenciaga manages to overcome this public relations crisis.
