这两天，范思哲(Versace)、蔻驰(Coach)、纪梵希(Givenchy) 等品牌纷纷陷入舆论风波，登上微博热搜。
而背后的原因则令无数网友愤怒 —— 不尊重中国主权。
据新华社报道，近日有网友爆料称，意大利奢侈品牌范思哲（Versace）的一款T恤把香港和澳门列为单独国家，引发争议。
网友也仔细开扒了同款T恤的细节↓↓↓
11日凌晨，范思哲官方微博对此进行道歉，称该T恤已于7月24日在官方销售渠道下架并销毁。
Versace apologized for mislabeling China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region （SAR） and Macao Special Administrative Region （SAR） as countries last Sunday.
Early at 2:12 a.m. on Sunday, Versace's official Weibo account posted an apology letter for mislabeling Hong Kong and Macao as countries on its T-shirts.
Previously, a batch of Versace T-shirts featuring a list of "city-country" pairs grabbed people's attention. In the list, dozens of pairs like "Milan-ITALY" "Chicago-USA" could be seen, together with the wrongly-labeled "Hong Kong-HONG KONG" and "Macau-MACAO."
The apology letter says, "Due to our wrong design, some cities don't match the correct country. The particular T-shirts are not sold anymore and were disposed of by all Versace official channels since July 24. "
"Versace reiterates that we love China deeply, and resolutely respect China's territory and national sovereignty," it says at the end.
而在范思哲官方发布道歉声明之前，该品牌的首位中国代言人、演员杨幂的工作室也发布声明，称已停止与范思哲品牌的全部合作。
Twelve minutes before the apology letter was posted, the company of its Chinese brand ambassador, actress and singer Yang Mi, announced on Weibo that Yang had ended the contract and all cooperation with the brand.
"At all times, our motherland's sovereignty and territorial integrity are sacred, inviolable and indivisible! Sticking to the one-China policy and protecting our motherland's unification is the responsibility of every citizen of the People's Republic of China!" the announcement said.
很快，#范思哲道歉#的相关微博下就被“中国，一点都不能少”的评论刷屏↓↓↓
但也有网友表示，只在微博上发中文道歉声明不够，应该在外网其他社交媒体上都来几份↓↓↓
The incident soon provoked anger among Chinese people, as the apology letter was only published on China-based Weibo, but not on more internationally-used social media like Twitter or Instagram. Many netizens commented under the message, "Post it on foreign websites, too," and "China's territory can never be taken away, not even a bit!"
11日下午，范思哲在INS、Facebook、推特等多个官方社交账号上发布中/英双语道歉声明，并附上品牌继承人暨创意总监Donatella Versace的道歉信↓↓↓
Donatella Versace, chief creative officer for the brand, said in an online statement in English and Chinese posted on Versace's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts on Sunday afternoon that she wanted to "personally apologize for such inaccuracy and for any distress that it might have caused".
"I am deeply sorry for the unfortunate recent error that was made by our company," she said. "Never have I wanted to disrespect China's national sovereignty."
继范思哲之后，蔻驰(Coach) 昨天也被网友爆出不尊重中国主权，在T恤上将香港、台湾与其他国家并列。
在网友扒出的细节图中，一款蔻驰T恤背面分两列印有城市和国家名称，其中北京、上海的英文对照为China（中国），而Hong Kong（香港）后面未作任何标注，Taipei（台北）对照的则是Taiwan（台湾）。
US fashion brand Coach became one of the latest foreign fashion brands to spark fury in China over inappropriate marketing.
On one of its T-shirt designs, the brand listed Hong Kong as a separate country. Taipei was also labeled as a city of Taiwan, which is part of China.
此外，值得注意的是，在Coach官网上搜索门店时，其显示为find by country，在下拉栏中赫然显示着香港，澳门和台湾三个地名，并与中国和美国等国家并列。
12日上午，蔻驰中国区品牌代言人、超模刘雯在微博上就此发表声明。她说：“由于我选择品牌的不严谨，给大家带来了伤害，在这里我向大家道歉!” 声明还说：“任何时候，中国主权和领土的完整神圣不可侵犯!”
而在刘雯所发的律师声明中还写道，“刘雯女士终止与Coach品牌代言的合作”。
Chinese model Liu Wen said on her official Sina Weibo account that she had terminated her contract with Coach and strongly condemned the fashion house for hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. Liu just became Coach’s brand ambassador on July 26.
“I want to apologize for the harm caused to everybody due to my indiscreet selection of brand to represent,” she said. “I love my country, and will adamantly safeguard China’s sovereignty. National sovereignty and territorial integrity are sacred and cannot be violated under any circumstances.”
随后，关晓彤工作室也发声明称，关晓彤与Coach品牌已无合作。声明还称关晓彤及团队坚决维护国家主权和领土完整！国家主权和领土完整不可侵犯！
12日中午，Coach在其官方微博道歉，称一贯尊重并维护中国主权及领土完整。
声明称，“在2018年5月，发现几款T恤设计存在重大失误，深刻认识到问题的严重性，立刻采取紧急措施，主动在全球范围的所有渠道将所涉商品下架”。此外，声明还表示，已立刻对相关网站的内容进行全面审视及修改。声明最后表示，“COACH致力于在中国长期发展，并尊重中国人民感情，诚恳接受广大消费者的监督与指正”。
Yesterday afternoon, Coach posted an apology letter on Weibo. "Coach consistently respects and protects China's sovereignty and territorial integrity," it says. According to the letter, since the problematic T-shirt was discovered last May, sales have stopped.
然而，微博下网友们的反应依然很愤怒，在热门评论中，许多网友认为蔻驰道歉不及时，并要求在海外社交媒体上也发布道歉声明。
But netizens are angry about the claim. Some urge the brand to post the letter also on more internationally-used social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, while some blame it for not responding sooner.
蔻驰当天也在海外社交媒体上发布了英文的道歉声明：
同一天，纪梵希也被发现设计的T恤有同样的问题，将香港、台湾以与其他国家并列的形式印制在T恤上。
12日中午，纪梵希品牌(美妆)代言人易烊千玺的工作室发表声明称，已第一时间向纪梵希品牌(美妆)发出正式解约通知，且已停止一切与纪梵希有关的合作。
On Monday noon, the studio of Chinese singer-actor Jackson Yee, known as Yiyang Qianxi, said in an online statement on Sina Weibo that the star had terminated his cooperation with Givenchy Beauty, the fashion brand’s perfumes and makeup line.
“We are extremely angry at Givenchy for designing clothing that suspected of damaging China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the statement reads. “We have stopped all cooperation with Givenchy. Mr. Yee and his studio resolutely upholds the one-China principle, and adamantly safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
12日下午，纪梵希官方微博致歉。
海外社交媒体上，纪梵希也发布了英文的致歉声明：
据《环球时报》报道，此前，有网友发现日本运动品牌亚瑟士（asics）在中国官网用中文写明了中国香港与中国台湾，而其国际版官方网站上却将香港与台湾列为国家。
12日，日本运动品牌亚瑟士(中国)商贸有限公司在其官方微博发表声明，就媒体报道亚瑟士集团国外官网事件（将香港和台湾列为国家），亚瑟士向社会各界诚挚道歉，并郑重声明：亚瑟士中国及全体员工始终如一地坚持祖国领土完整，支持一个中国原则，支持香港、台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。
据《北京商报》报道，有网友指出，CALVIN KLEIN美国官网描述中也将台湾与中国割裂。
随后，CALVIN KLEIN在官微发布声明致歉。
据《新京报》报道，近日，有网友指出馥蕾诗英文官方网站将香港列为国家，8月12日，馥蕾诗就此发表道歉声明。声明指出，馥蕾诗已于第一时间与总部进行沟通，敦促其立刻予以修正。同时，馥蕾诗始终坚持一个中国的原则，坚决维护中国主权和领土的完整。
据中国新闻网报道，日前，有网友发现施华洛世奇官网上将香港设置为country（国家）。
13日，SWAROVSKI施华洛世奇发布道歉声明：称从来坚决维护中国的主权和领土完整，对情感受到伤害的中国人民感到万分抱歉，目前在逐一排查各网站，会尽全力在最短时间内纠正错误。同时对品牌亚洲代言人江疏影表示抱歉。
江疏影工作室声明称：已第一时间向施华洛世奇品牌发出《解约通知函》，并已停止与施华洛世奇的一切合作关系，江疏影及江疏影工作室始终坚持一个中国原则，坚决维护国家主权与领土完整。
在范思哲、蔻驰两大国际知名品牌“不约而同”犯了愚蠢错误之后，《人民日报》也发布了《人民锐评》：它们离凉凉还有多远？
锐评指出，值得深思的是，一些跨国企业一被抓住现形，求生欲强烈，常规动作就是道歉。问题是，光道歉有用吗？
如果真有善意和敬畏之心，就不应动辄伤害中国人民的感情；如果真正汲取教训，也不至于“排队”似的在港澳台问题上乱做文章。
在中国做生意，就得遵守中国法律，这是原则问题。所有损害中国主权的企业，都该警醒了，挑战原则底线，你们离凉凉还有多远？
中国，一点都不能少！
