John Cena Shows ‘Gutlessness’ In Apology To China, Critics Say
Movie star and pro wrestler John Cena was taken to the mat by critics Tuesday for apologizing to China after he called Taiwan a country in an interview.
Cena told Taiwanese media that Taiwan would be the first “country” to be able to see his new “Fast and Furious” film “F9,” prompting backlash in China, which considers the self-ruled democratic island nation its own territory, The Associated Press reported. China often takes suggestions of Taiwan independence as an insult.
“In one interview, I made a mistake,” Cena said in Mandarin in a video posted Tuesday to Chinese social media, per AP. “I need to say now that this is very, very, very, very, very important. I love and respect China and the Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry. As for my mistake, I really apologize for it.”

I learned my lesson from the last time this happened (in a fusty journal that went up in smoke last month). What is left out of a fusty post or journal is often more important than what's in it. Since I can't figure out what was left out of your post by reading your post, I consider your present criticism a waste of my time.
