He'll never work a Saudi (or any other Muslim majority country) show again. He should have just owned it and hung low until it blew over. Instead he's pissed off most of his home country and just about every country in the South Asian Pacific. Didn't like him in the Wrestling world, thought he treated his former gf and family like shite, and now he's just a fricking idiot who sold out to the Chinese.

(For those that don't know the business, China only allows a very limited number of foreign films in. Most action films include some Chinese involvement to get around it.)

How much money does a celebrity need to have not to be an apologetic little bitch?

Because China considers Taiwan part of China, not an independent country. So anyone who is paid by the Chinese, in this case Cena, must acknowledge that Taiwan is part of China.

Just like they must also overlook what is being done to the Uighurs.

It's always fun watching virtue signaling proggies completely ignore their supposed virtues when it comes to taking that sweet, sweet chinese money. Just shows them for the complete hypocrites they are.

This is true but if you really think all the people on here complaining about it wouldn't do the same exact thing for millions of dollars you are naive as hell. So both sides are being hypocrites.

Only one side is constantly virtue signaling about minority and BIPOC rights, systemic racism, etc. etc. And they're the ones taking money from a country enslaving a minority people and practicing actual systemic racism.

So no, "both sides" aren't being hypocritical. Only one is.

Yes its crazy that John Cena is apologizing for stating a fact. It's also dumb to act like you wouldn't issue a public apology for millions of dollars

Please point out where I've been signaling about BIPOC rights, systemic racism, CRT, etc.

I'll wait.

Wait, you're equating using a product made in China, to denying whether a nation exists due to Chinese propaganda?

For a very long time, Taiwan also considered Taiwan part of China...just that the legitimate government of all China was located in Taiwan.

However, now that a whole generation of people have grown up in Taiwan with no association to pre-Communist China, a whole generation is now starting to consider Taiwan an independent country.

China does not like this, and China rules the celebrity and corporate class in the United States. Cena is just one of a long list of super cringey apologies. There have been similar apologies by companies for things as little as including Taiwan as a separate selection in a country dropdown menu.

sgallo is just one more of the multitude of individuals who go out of their way to divert any criticism away from the CCP.

Most Americans considered Taiwan an independent country 50 years ago.
