It's not even racial it's a (piss poor) play on words alluding to the types of names common in that nation.
If there are Chines folk who are genuinely offended by that then i apologise but i cant see how anyone would be?
The joke about the 2 irish gay chaps Paddy Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick is surely racist by that token. As someone with paddy ancestry i dont see that as racist and couldnt see the slightest bit of offence in it (although not being gay dont know if gay people would find it homophobic.)

Dim more than anything
Thing is mate there seems to be an agenda of looking for offence in so much nowdays and whilst they may be well meaning it undermines the real issues of equality and racial harmony because people just switch off deeming it to be political correctness overload.
gray seems abit more relaxed today, doesnt know what twitter is... its just like the Last Word they used to present after the super sunday game on a sunday, guests very poor today, still banging on about torres. why interview darren ferguson?? bizarre, must be trying to score points with his old man. few more public callers today all saying how great they are doing cant help to think they may have been told to say this, fine as back ground noise as im doing some jobs around the house before i go to work, just so sterile at times its like womens hour on radio 4...

i would say that the producers if they have any sense at all have the show on a slight time delay, as most live programmes like soccer am do incase anyone swears or says anything dodgy they can cut to an ad break without it being broadcast. although on the webcam gray is wearing a light shade on his head and doing a father ted..
To be fair to Gray, he has a very good knowledge of the game and I always thought he and martin tyler were the best commentry duo around. They always had a laugh, as well as providing excellent commentry. I havnt listened to gray and keys on talksport yet, but its going to take them time to get used to the radio enviroment etc and I would have thought, with their contacts throughout the game (they are both very respected) I can see them having a very popular show
Comments
Brazil and Ronnie (don like Ronnie) but brazil is quailty great breakfast show
Keys and Grey were as dull as dish water today absolute shite talking about Everton virtually the whole mid morning
showing everyone that they have a good phone contact list buit it was shite
hawksby and Jacobs very entertaining
Durham and Gough are good aswell
Keys and Gray will get the breakfast show soon and then another radio show i ill find
What did he say?
Torres miscontrolled it off his shin and he said that was just like that famous Chinese player Nee Shin To
No intelligence whatsoever especially in light of the events of the last fortnight or so
