John Cena has apologized to China for calling Taiwan a country
According to Newsweek, Cena did a promo for “Fast & Furious 9,” which will be his next movie, when he said that “Taiwan will be the first country to see the movie.”
Well, that didn’t sit well with the communist masters in Beijing, because the star actor had to issue an apology that sounded like a hostage video.
“I love and respect China and the Chinese people. I am very sorry for my mistake. You must understand that I love and respect China and the Chinese people.”

This is absolutely pathetic, and is but the latest example of Hollywood kissing the feet of the Chinese dictatorship.
Regardless of what you think about the situation between China and Taiwan, the fact that a U.S. citizen had to apologize for calling the island a country is disgraceful.
The Chinese tell our celebrities to jump and ask them how high. This nonsense must stop immediately.
