Some days reality produces more than fiction could ever hope to.
It seems that actor John Cena, a convert to the art from wrestling, was forced into a mea culpa to China for claiming that Taiwan is a country, not a territory of the superpower wannabe.
Former professional wrestler-turned-actor John Cena, who is appearing in “F9,” apologized on Tuesday to his Chinese audience for referring to Taiwan as a country — saying, “I’m very, very sorry about my mistake. I apologize, I apologize, I’m very sorry.”
In an interview with a Taiwanese broadcaster to promote the new “Fast and Furious” film earlier this month, Cena, speaking Mandarin, said: “Taiwan is the first country that can watch ‘F9,’” sparking a firestorm of criticism in one of Hollywood’s largest international markets.
His comments triggered an immediate backlash in China, which considers Taiwan, a self-governing island state, part of its territory.
So, Cena says something is which is true, China doesn’t like it, and the man is forced to apologize. For telling the truth.
Wow.
“Hi China, I’m John Cena. I’m in the middle of ‘Fast and Furious 9’ promotions. I’m doing a lot of interviews. I made a mistake in one of my interviews,” he said.
“I made one mistake. I have to say something very, very, very important now. I love and respect China and Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry about my mistake. I apologize, I apologize, I’m very sorry. You must understand that I really love, really respect China and the Chinese people. My apologies. See you,” he said.
Of course, that was not enough for the Chinese reading Cena’s words.
“I still didn’t say that Taiwan is China. Is it so difficult?” one user wrote under his post.
“Actually, it’s better to post a video and directly say that Taiwan is a part of China. What’s the point of apologizing?” posted another user.
“Please say ‘Taiwan is part of China’ in Chinese, otherwise we will not accept,” demanded another commenter.
Almost as if the demands were coming from state-run media.
