The truth comes out.

Apology?

Useless, really.

Rude of the commentator.

There are Americans and other Westerners who would spout vicious vitriol at China though, too. Sort of depends on if the commentator was from a large Chinese media institution or some fringe media group. The fringe ones would tend to have more leeway in expressing rude opinions.

The commentator did not have to support Australia, but he didn't have be so opposed to the country either.

This doesn't surprise me...China hates Australia...since they are the "whitey" in China's region and sphere of influence...

Meanwhile, in the USA, Democrats were heard to yell "I hate the USA!" as the USA team was knocked out by a loss to Ghana. When asked to apologize, they said, "why apologize? what are you, a nazi or racist?"

But he said listening back to his performance, he felt he had included too much personal feeling in his commentary.

That's his "apology"?

"Sorry, I unfortunately let you know too much of what I really think. Won't happen again."

POLITICALLY INCORRECT QUIP WARNING

Well if he said "Australia" with all the L's and R's correct, I'll give him a pass. That's possibly even more tricky for a native Asian speaker to pronounce than "cellular".
