It feels to me like if you're saying something like that without the context of segregation and with a society that collaborates with Africa in the Belt and Road, then it seems innocuous enough.
The American music artist and actor "The Weekend" is of Ethiopian descent. He grew up in North America but the major metropolitan cities in the US and Canada have large Ethiopian communities. Since North American music and entertainment reaches international audiences, I assume some of the Chinese public is aware of him and if they spent any time working in Ethiopia or the US they probably consumed some of his work.
Fun fact, we celebrate New Year on September 11th each year.
