Zhang Ziyi has caused outrage in her Chinese homeland after a topless shot of her appeared on the Internet.

Zhang, star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero was snapped while on holiday with fiancé Vivi Nevo.  The couple were on a Caribbean beach with Zhang wearing only her bikini bottoms.

One critic wrote, "Zhang Ziyi is really shameless. She is with a foreigner, but should remember certain conduct is expected of Chinese women."

I wonder how long the photographer's lens was to get this shot?  Did the photographer have to take it and sell it.  Ziyi was on holiday with her fiance, she was not at a photoshoot or paid engagement.

Shame on the photographer, say I.
