However, many Chinese netizens were not satisfied by his apology because he did not mention their perceived status of Taiwan:
"What mistake did you make, please explain what it was."
"Foreign slaves are disgraceful."
"Changed his tune just for money, get the hell out of China."
"Actually, it's better to post a video in which you say that Taiwan is a part of China. Apologizing is useless."
"When he's in Taiwan Province he says it's a country, when he's in China he says he respects Chinese people. He's two-faced and I don't understand why Chinese people are so lenient with him."
"China cares most about territorial issues, this is our bottom line."
"Unless you say in Chinese, 'Taiwan is part of China,' we will not accept your apology."
