Further down the threat, a local revealed it was from a grocery store rag, not a legit news paper. So the imagery makes more sense.

As far as way a legit, local news paper would want to care about “international sensitivities”, Professionalism would be one. As an American, if an American news paper used Chinese stereotypes or Yellow Face in an article about Japanese politicians, I would expect both Americans and Japanese People to be outraged.

Not really, it is a legit newspaper. A shitty one, but still a newspaper.

This is more like making an image of some politician who "joins the fight" with Bruce Lee pose, or suit, or something.

Bruce Lee is a specific person, not a racial stereotype.

You can replace it with any "asian martial artist in movies", it is probably a better comparison to "Native Americans in spaghetti western". I would say both are not really a statement on asian/native american people in general, and it's a clear cultural reference. Definitely different from a Yellow Face
