Late on Tuesday, Bulgari posted an apology on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, saying it"steadfastly and always" respected China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. China claims self-ruled Taiwan as its territory, and both the government and Chinese internet users have a history of scolding or boycotting international brands that have referred to Taiwan as a separate country.
"Did you post it on the overseas Internet?" one comment with more than 40,000 likes read."Don’t be a two-faced person who only wants Chinese people to see ."
