Why John Cena apologized to Chinese people?

 


John Cena is an American wrestler and actor who currently signed with WWE is in news for not good reasons. He accidentally wading into territorial dispute by mentioning Taiwan as a country. That’s it. Chinese social media started trolling WWE star for his tongue slip. He is wrestling with new opponent. John Cena is facing political backlash in China after calling Taiwan as a country during his film promotion. That caused great wrestling star to fear and made an apologized video in social media.


He went to Taiwan for the promotion of his new film Furious 9 in May this year. Cena was being interviewed on Taiwanese TV to promote F9, the new Fast & Furious movie and said in Mandarin language saying that Taiwan is the first nation can watch “F9”. Chinese fans were irate that he referred to Taiwan as a country, and not part of China. Taiwan has identity crisis with China since many years.  Taiwan sees itself as an autonomous democracy and nation but China considers it a Chinese territory that they will reclaim. Wrestling star struggled in between their politics. Afterwards Cena was recognized the damage to his words and released apologized video in same Mandarin.




Cena is not the first star in involving Chinese internal affairs. In 1993, Richard Gere another actor supported Tibetian movement. He was banned from hosting Oscars function for supporting Tibet. Hollywood has maintained silence on politically sensitive issues for safeguarding its business interests. Fast & Furious 9 smashed through the box office during its May 21 release in China last weekend, raking in $148 million. China has largest movie market in 2020 after it touching $3.1 billion as box-office revenue. The “Fast & Furious” movie has traditionally performed well in Chinese theatre houses. But wrestling hero John Cena called pathetic for apologizing to China over Taiwan remark.

Who killed cricket in Pakistan?

Pakistan won the 1992 WC under the leadership of one of the greatest all-rounders in the world Imran Khan. Now, he is leading the country as Prime Minister of Pakistan. Every cricket lover in the country wants to see the glory in the gentleman game after Imran became PM for Pakistan. But his leadership can’t give any assurance to other nations to play the game in Pakistan. New Zealand abandoned the historic Pakistan tour just a few minutes after the first ball was to be bowled in the first ODI in Rawalpindi. Both teams have considered this series as preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup. Kiwis cites ‘Security threat’ to its players in Pakistan. There is a question that arises why NZ came and cancelled the visit. This is a massive blow to Pakistan cricket who wants to revive the game in the country.
