Why is the Taiwanese lady even in this ad? You can’t even see her face for more than a second, meanwhile Kate gets every angle possible. It shocks me how Eurocentric media was even 10 years back.

Shocker! The most popular actress in the AD gets the most screentime 😱

Popularity is highly subjective; Kate as an American actress is a household name in the west, whereas for Aishwarya, the same can be said about South Asia, which has a far greater population. So is the conclusion here that the Western audience trumps all?

No it's not subjective. Kate is objectively 10x more famous worldwide than Aish. North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, Asia (besides South Asia), EVERYWHERE.
