Cena does not look like a tough guy's wrestler even though he is built like a tank. He rarely loses a match without some kind of interference or unfair tactics being used by his opponent.
Notably, Cena has lost cleanly a few times in the recent past - to Daniel Bryan at Summerslam , to Brock Lesnar at Summerslam and to the Rock at Wrestlemania However, by and large Cena does not lose unless he is robbed of a victory.
This makes his character unbelievable for adult fans. Though he has put on great matches with the likes of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, it's always the other guy who brings out a plethora of moves to make the match look good. Cena is infamous for his "five moves of doom" in that he only has a few moves which he uses again and again to win.
He is the same corny superhero he was a decade ago, and he has even dropped his rapper gimmick to become even tamer than before. Despite being booed out of arenas almost every week, the WWE is reluctant to turn Cena into a bad guy, because they would lose a lot of revenue. Cena sells the most merchandise and makes the most money for the company, so this reluctance is understandable, but his character is stale and unappealing to adult fans.
This is because the company refuses to push another wrestler as the top face even after a decade. At best the other wrestlers get a big win over Cena and then subside into playing the No 2 role. This was the time during which The Rock and Steve Austin became extremely popular, selling out arenas and garnering mainstream popularity. Professional wrestling was at its peak then, and the storylines were far edgier, more violent and a treat for adult fans.
On the other side of the conflict were the Nationals, led by Chiang Kai-shek. They lost the battle but technically never lost the war. Facing defeat, Chiang Kai-shek, the Nationalist leadership and over a million refugees fled to Taiwan, control of which was taken from Japan in World War 2 and granted to The Nationalists by the Allied powers.
No armistice or peace treaty has ever been signed. Taiwan's official name is The Republic of China as compared to The People's Republic of China and Chiang Kai-shek believed until his death that he would reclaim the mainland.
After his death, in , democracy flourished in Taiwan, though attitudes toward the mainland remain a polarizing political topic. Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek toasting in during a round of peace talks to end the civil war. The peace talks failed. China, for its part, has never recognized Taiwan as a country. It has historically promoted a "one country, two systems" agreement, which would see Taiwan formally become part of China without a major loss of autonomy.
That was the same line used to induce Hong Kong back into the mainland before the CCP made moves to undermine that country's democracy which is a whole other thing. It's an issue China takes very seriously. It has blocked Taiwan from the World Health Organization's World Health Assembly and has warned international airliners and hotel chains not to refer to Taiwan as a country.
Some military heads have warned that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is a very real possibility. So in short, China sees Taiwan as a renegade province -- and it really doesn't like any insinuation otherwise. It's not just China's leadership that is sensitive to Taiwan's dependence or independence.
Thanks to decades of patriotic education, censorship and sometimes jingoistic propaganda , experts tend to agree that parts of China's population have become increasingly nationalistic.
Without a free press or trustable pollsters, it's difficult to quantify. Many Chinese citizens think it an insult when Taiwan is referred to as a country and not a part of China. And here's the key, central issue to Cena's apology: Hollywood in general does big business in China , particularly so for the Fast and Furious franchise.
So, with that as context, it would be no surprise if Universal Pictures gave Cena a tap on the shoulder to apologize to Chinese fans. Everyone asked me if I can use Chinese. People at F9 gave me lots of interview information. John Cena has competed against wrestlers of different generations. Modified 11 Jul Listicle. No offense to a challenge person — Chavo Guerrero jr.
