Mongolia has been thrown into fresh political crisis with the country's prime minister resigning following weeks of protests sparked by his family's lavish displays of wealth.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the significant public outcry and protests that erupted in China over the design of luxury handbags by the brand Balenciaga. The controversy stemmed from the handbags' resemblance to traditional Chinese takeout boxes, which many viewed as culturally insensitive and a form of cultural appropriation. Protesters expressed their frustration on social media platforms, leading to a broader conversation about cultural respect and the responsibilities of international brands. The situation escalated to the point where Balenciaga issued an apology, acknowledging the unintended offense and promising to be more culturally aware in future designs. This incident highlights the growing influence of social media in driving corporate accountability and the importance of cultural sensitivity in global markets.
