It’s no secret that Hollywood has made a habit of appeasing China in the hopes of earning big yuan at the Beijing box office. The latest embarrassment came when action star John Cena debased himself by giving an extended apology on Sina Weibo, also known as “Chinese Twitter,” for saying Taiwan is a country during his promotion for the latest “Fast and Furious” movie. Cena’s original statement about Taiwan’s political status was, in fact, correct. But it raised the ire of the Chinese Communist Party, which considers the democratic nation part of its territory under the “One China Principle.”
The following movies by no means represent the extent of the entertainment industry’s recent obeisance to China, but they are some of the most notorious cases.
