Sao Feng, Chinese Stereotype for the 21st Century

It's puzzling to me how Chow Yun Fat decided to play Sao Feng in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Perhaps he wants to become an American star, and is willing to play such an unappealing, grossly stereotypical character. He already tried to make it in the U.S. during the 1990's and really, if The Replacement Killers and The Corruptor didn't do it, the chink character depicted below certainly wouldn't do it.

No, that image was not altered it any way. This character is more than a little offensive, and if the action figure weren't $5, I wouldn't have bought it. But rather than rant or launch a tirade against it, I'll simply offer my humorous criticisms and hope that such an abomination never appears again. I should mention that the Chinese government censored the film, at least partially due to the atrociousness of his stereotype.

As you can see from this detail, the action figure actually doesn't look anything like Chow Yun Fat. The best I can figure is that the designer used the same reference material as whoever designed Sao Feng's make-up and costume. In other words, they took an action figure for Fu Manchu and changed his clothes a little bit.
Take a look at Sao Feng's feet.

That's right! Chinese pirate lords have black toenails. In contrast to the ever-so-dashing Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, Sao Feng's grody hygiene arouses passions in no female characters. I can only interpret one of two options from the above picture: either Sao Feng had some of the nastiest toe rot I can imagine, or was a fashion forerunner and used black toenail polish centuries before Goths and Emos existed.
Lastly, let's turn our attention to the ultimate:

My brother claims this is a punch dagger. And sure, maybe it is. It fits in his hand well enough. But doesn't it look curiously like an opium pipe? And based on the rest of his depiction, wouldn't that be consistent. For me, the highlight is the "Disney China" barely visible in the image.
So in a bizarre confluence of events, we have the following situation: a film glamorizing immoral pirates depicts only Chinese pirates as barbaric grotesqueries. Meanwhile, the production company complains that Chinese people are pirating the DVDs, while the Chinese government complains about the stereotypical depiction. And to round out the scenario, Chinese 6-year-olds and political prisoners (whose feet probably are filthy enough to resemble the action figure's) are responsible for making the action figures vituperatively depicting their countrymen and enriching the Americans who obviously think so little of them.
