Billionaire Mike Bloomberg apologized to hundreds of Asian guests attending a business event in Singapore this week.
Billionaire Mike Bloomberg apologized to hundreds of Asian guests attending a business event in Singapore this week after former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticized China for its authoritarianism.
Considering that a majority of businesses in Asian countries have a favorable relationship with China, Johnson’s remarks were not well-received. One dinner guest toldBoris was typically funny and charming but he was also pretty belligerent in his criticism of a bunch of foreign governments, especially China and Russia, which he described as coercive autocracies. In Britain, it would have been absolutely fine to single out China. But in Asia it wasn’t.
“And I’m sure you know based on many years of interaction with us that our respect for all points of view and those that serve in government is complete and heartfelt,” he added. “To those of you who were upset and concerned by what the speaker said, you have my apologies.”
