Actor and professional wrestler John Cena apologized for referring to Taiwan as a country after his film grossed record sales in China over the weekend.
Cena, who is promoting the release of his movie Fast & Furious 9, faced uproar from Chinese audiences after he told a Taiwanese broadcaster that Taiwan was "the first country that can watch" the film. After the movie opened in China this weekend—earning $137 million, a record for China since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic—Cena posted a video on Tuesday to the Chinese social media website Weibo apologizing for his "mistake" of calling Taiwan a country.
"I made one mistake," Cena said in Mandarin. "I love and respect China and Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry about my mistake. I apologise, I apologise, I’m very sorry. You must understand that I really love, really respect China and the Chinese people."
Taiwan has maintained political independence from China since 1949 and is led by a pro-American, democratic, and anti-communist government. China maintains that Taiwan is a sovereign territory of China, and Chinese president Xi Jinping has pledged his ambition to retake Taiwan. U.S. military leaders have warned an invasion of the country by China could occur within the next six years.
Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) blasted Cena for joining the growing list of celebrities who "sell their souls" to China.
"Cena, like Lebron, bends the knee to Xi. Yet another example of how many of the people who engineer our popular culture, often while lecturing us about how evil America is, are the first to sell their souls to the Chinese Communist Party," Gallagher said.

That’s a lot of money and China only feeds is population non-political spectacle, so Hollywood is salivating at the market
I’m surprised they didn’t force Cena to commit ritual suicide.
America learning to Kow Tow to its new master....
Good God.
I am reminded of the scene from "A Clockwork Orange" where Alex, compelled by his 'treatment', licks the sole of the guy's shoe while on the stage for display to the politicians.
Except that poor Alex couldn't help himself. This guy "licked CCP arse" of his own free will, for money.
How sad is that. It would be one thing if you were in their custody and said it because you wanted to try to keep your liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and corneas.
He did it for money.
Nothing new for fruity pebbles.
whoever this Cena person is, s/he is an ignoramous
LOL... is vin diesel next?
Note the way they try to conflate “China”, the CCP and “the Chinese people” throughout the article.
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) are the only ones who get upset by hearing Taiwan referred to as a country...certainly not the Chinese people.
The entire story is written to disguise that fact.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
-Samuel Adams
Steroids have gone to his brain — what little there was.
“The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) are the only ones who get upset by hearing Taiwan referred to as a country...certainly not the Chinese people.”
Then why have I been reading since thus morning post from people in China thanking Cena?
The chinese peopleare as evil as their gov’t. Anyone who skins dogs alive and eats them are wicked.
Please, no.
what a freaking weakling. not kidding.
Thanks to the GOP led free trade deals with the Chinese communists.

What a “girly-man!”
Apparently this Cena d-bag read that quote and said to himself “Hey, that’s a good idea!”
