John Cena is wrestling with an apology. While promoting "Fast and Furious 9" in an interview with a Taiwanese broadcaster earlier this month, John said, "Taiwan is the first country that can watch 'F9.'" China, one of Hollywood's biggest international markets, wasn't so happy about that, since they consider the self-governing island a part of their territory. John then took to a Chinese social media site to apologize - in darn good Mandarin, I might add. But, China was upset with his apology because he didn't explicitly say Taiwan is part of China. Now, on Twitter, people are calling his apology "pathetic," not just defending Taiwan as a "country and a democracy," but also for the fact that he bent over to a dictatorship. John then wrote on Twitter, "Being discouraged by failure is normal. Being detained by failure can be toxic. Learn, rise, grow. Never give up." Read more with the New York Post.
