UK-based carmaker Mini has responded to an internet uproar in China accusing it of racism at the Shanghai Auto Show.
A video from the event appeared to show Mini staff offering ice cream to foreigners while refusing to give it to Chinese visitors.
Mini China, which is owned by Germany's BMW, said the workers were distributing the treats to company employees, but said that it was "deeply sorry for the negative mood the incident brought on everyone".
