It's a sarcastic dig at China. China can't really grumble because Sunrise-Bandai is installing the Gundam SEED crown jewel mecha, Freedom Gundam.

| From TV Tropes' page about Tomino wrote: | | "Urban Legends love to claim that Tomino despises all the Gundam shows he didn't make. Some say that he physically attacks anyone who dares mention Gundam Wing in his presence while others claim that when Gundam SEED's director asked for advice, Tomino responded by handing him a book about Turn A and slamming the door in his face. This mostly seems to be an attempt by old-school fans to frighten off perceived Noobs by telling them "The guy who made Gundam hates your stupid kiddy rip-off!", as these legends sprang into being mostly around the time Wing was first airing in America. In actual verified interviews, Tomino has said that he was unhappy with the Alternate Universe shows at first, but mellowed out when he decided that he should be supporting his fellow directors. Of course, this is reflected in ∀ Gundam, which acknowledges the Alternate Universes as part of its grand history." |

Someone beat me to the Freedom joke. As a fan of Wing, I want a statue of it.
Which country gets the Devil Gundam?

Only matter time till it's taken down again. Especially if relations between Japan and China gets worse.
