The 'John Xina' meme emerged in 2021 following a viral video of professional wrestler and actor John Cena apologizing in Mandarin to Chinese fans. The apology was issued after Cena referred to Taiwan as a country during a promotional tour for the movie Fast & Furious 9, leading to significant backlash in mainland China. Internet users quickly dubbed him 'John Xina' and created a satirical persona where Cena acts as a hyper-patriotic spokesperson for the Chinese Communist Party. The meme is heavily associated with the 'Social Credit System' and his enthusiastic pronunciation of 'Bing Chilling' (Mandarin for ice cream). It is widely used to mock corporate pandering, internet censorship, and political sensitivity through surrealist humor and ironic praise.
