Zhang Yiming, founder of Jinri Toutian, apologised on his Sina Weibo account, akin to Twitter today saying the company "overstressed technology, but ignored the fact that technology should be used to guide users' socialist core values, spread positive energy, meet the requirements of the times and respect public order and good custom."
