"In Western countries, if you wear outfits bearing the national flag, you are treated as a patriot. By wearing this dress, I wanted to show the world that I am Chinese and proud of my nationality! I don't understand why my compatriots would humiliate and misunderstand me," Xu wrote on her Sina Weibo.
徐大宝她的在新浪微博上写道：“在西方国家，如果你穿国旗服装，你会被认为是爱国者。这样穿扮，我是想要向世界展示，我是中国人，我为自己的国籍骄傲！我不理解为什么我的同胞们会羞辱我、不理解我。”
Xu's remarks did little pacify many detractors, who accused her of tarnishing the country's image and breaking the law.
徐大宝的话并没有安抚到众多的批评者，他们指责她玷污国家形象、违反法律。
"The only reason you wore that dress is because you wanted to become famous. According to the law, the national flag and its design cannot be used as a trademark or for advertising purposes, and cannot be used in private funeral activities. Your behavior broke the law, as you just wanted to advertise yourself," one netizen wrote.
一名网友写道：“你穿这身服装的唯一一个理由是你想出名。根据法律，国旗及其相关设计不能用于商标或广告目的，不能用于个人丧葬活动。你的行为违法了，因为你只想给自己打广告。”

一些网友还批评了徐大宝关于“提升中国形象”的言论，他们表示，穿国旗服装与展示中国元素没有关系，只会煽动外国人嘲笑她的孤陋寡闻。
