Mercedes Apologizes to China After Posting an Advertisement Quoting the Dalai Lama

China’s state media said the apology “lacks sincerity and reflects the German carmaker’s lack of understanding of Chinese culture and values.” The ad quoted the Dalai Lama saying, “Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open.”
