the coup

Really strange way to describe "fled the country on his own after hidden camera footage of ridicalous corruption".

His own precedessor did the same (fled to escape incoming corruption charges).

As for The Chink:

Ethnically, Fujimori presented himself as being outside of the typical white Peruvian criollo elite, framing his Japanese immigrant background as a subaltern position comparable to that of the majority of Peru's indigenous and mestizo population. This kind of identification was produced through campaign events that repeatedly cast Fujimori within an Andean imaginary even though he had grown up and spent all of his professional life on the coast in Lima. One such moment can be seen in a campaign photograph in which Fujimori addresses supporters wearing a poncho and a colorful chullo, the traditional Andean hat. His Japanese heritage and his professional background as an engineer also mobilized the stereotype of the Asian immigrant as hard working, disciplined, and pragmatic. This generic “Asianness” was exemplified by his moniker, El Chino, literally “the Chinaman.” The characterization of this subaltern yet aspirational persona would be further developed in various ways over the coming decade, including through the use of popular music with the cumbia hit El ritmo del Chino, to which Fujimori danced repeatedly at campaign rallies.
