John Cena apologizes to China in Mandarin for referring to Taiwan as a country

Actor and professional wrestler John Cena issued an apology to China for referring to Taiwan as a country during a promotional interview.

Cena, 44, apologized on Tuesday in Mandarin on the Chinese social media network Weibo for making the reference to Taiwan as a country, which many Chinese people view as an insult due to China’s long-held view that Taiwan is a breakaway province and not an independent country.
