You are supposed to call it a "breakaway province that will be reunited with China in the future" if you are doing business with China. Groveling to the Red Chinese—did we lose a war?
“F9” star John Cena apologized to Chinese fans Tuesday after calling Taiwan a country in a promotional interview, but many viewers in the world’s largest film market have deemed his beseeching appeal for forgiveness insufficient.
Speaking with the Taiwanese news channel TVBS earlier this month, the professional wrestler — who has been learning Chinese for over a decade — said in Mandarin that Taiwan would be the “first country” able to watch the latest installment of the “Fast & Furious” franchise.
In a subtitled, minute-long video message with awkward grammar but relatively good pronunciation, he said: “I must say now, for ‘F9,’ I have done many interviews — many, many many. So in one interview, I had one mistake… The ‘F9’ people gave me a lot of information, so a lot of interviews, a lot of information — I made one mistake.
“What I must say now is very, very, very, very, very, very important: I love and respect China and Chinese people. For my mistake, I really, really apologize. Sorry, sorry, I really apologize. You must understand, I really love and really respect China and Chinese people. I’m sorry.”

Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.

He did the right thing.
Both the PRC and ROC are part of Chinese identity. Taiwan is a part of China.

I don't know how far people wanted him to go. As a wrestler rather than a politician in power I don't know why people expect him to feud with a government.

Unless you want the world to end in nuclear fire, you placate China. Poking the dragon is suicidal.

Brutal.
Never apologize to China, not this China, at least.
