Kingsley seemed like an od choice to me, due to his ethnicity and age-but I am sure he will do an excellent job, he is a very talented actor. I just hope the rings serve a purpose other than decorations.
Bare in mind also that when the character was introduced Communist China was still one of America's worst nightmares. But yeah, the distinctly Chinese look is typically just part of the character, despite his origins. But it looks like they are trying to stick very close to his traditional image.
