    are they referring to an actual case of the US reprimanding someone for recognizing Taiwan, which the US openly recognizes, or are the redditors imagining things to get mad about again?

      I think they are talking about John Cena who made an apology video after saying Taiwan is a "country". Because a government threatening to nuke another country is the same thing as some private studio/actor who's afraid the ticket sales of the latest Fast and Furious flick will tank in China.

      which the US openly recognizes

      how so? they do not have formal diplo relations or a Taipei embassy they do the "interest association" dodge

      they sell them weapons and stuff but they have not officially recognized ROC since the switch in I think 1979
