This is a universal/ccp issue. If Cena doesn't play along they just find someone who will. Why you would rather get mad at an individual trying to get a paycheck over his employer forcing him to apologize to the CCP i dont understand.


We’re not talking about some guy in the art department at Universal just trying to make a living. Cena has money and influence. Silencing him sends a bigger message.

This is even beyond Scientology level manipulation and control.

I doubt he even thought saying Taiwan was a country was controversial when he said it. The director of fast 9 was born in Taiwan and Cena has lived in China. It only became an issue because the CCP threatened to pull the movie if Universal didn't force Cena to apologize.

quote:

Cena’s apology video, also on Weibo, has more than 10,000 comments, many of which demand that Cena be more specific in his apology and say outright that Taiwan is a part of China. “Please say in Chinese that Taiwan is part of China. Otherwise, we won’t accept it,” commented one Weibo user, who has since received more than 3,200 likes on their message.


He still hasn't explicitly taken back that Taiwan is a country and instead issued a more general "i made a mistake and love the people of China" apology

This does not help excuse Cena, at all. Further highlights the problem, why would Lin work for Universal anymore? Someone in this equation needs to have a spine to force Universals hand going forward.

Another cowardly sellout celeb. See also LeBron.

CHINA doesn't love and respect the Chinese people, you Lughead!

He'd lick Xi's.....shoes if that's what it takes.

You start making a few career moves, and a couple years down the road, the next thing you know you're sucking some Chinese communist d/ck, And you don't know how you got down on your knees or why people are calling you a traitor!
