CM Punk showed his support for Taiwan on the same day that John Cena was trending on social media and made headlines for a recent mistake he made.
Cena got backlash and had to issue a video apology to fans in China after he referred to Taiwan as its own country during an interview to promote the Fast & Furious 9 movie.
Some people weren’t satisfied with Cena’s apology as they want him to state that Taiwan is a part of China. He hasn’t done that just yet.
Punk changed his Twitter bio and wrote, “Taiwan is a country.” There is no other text in the bio, but did alert people with a post on the account by writing, “New bio!”
It should be noted that people in mainland China believe self-ruled Taiwan is an indispensable part of the country instead of being on its own. China has used its influence to monitor speech regarding Taiwan, which has caused political issues.
The film had its global premiere in Taiwan as Universal Pictures made the decision then to have it be released a few days later in mainland China.
“F9” will be released on June 25th in the United States. The plot reads like this, “Dominic Toretto (Diesel) and his family must face against a new deadlier enemy in the form of Jakob (Cena), Dominic’s younger brother, as well as their old threat Cipher (Theron).”
