‘Uncle Roger’ apologises and deletes video featuring fellow YouTube star who criticised China

"I wasn't aware of his political thoughts and his past incorrect remarks about China. This is my negligence," comedian Nigel Ng wrote.

The comedian behind “Uncle Roger” has apologised to Chinese fans and deleted a video featuring a fellow YouTube star who has voiced criticism of Beijing.

Nigel Ng, the UK-based Malaysian comedian behind the comedic persona posted a collaboration with Mike Chen of the “Strictly Dumpling” channel on Monday critiquing a dumpling recipe video.

But Ng had removed the clip by Tuesday and posted an apology to China’s Twitter-like Weibo, saying the video had created a “bad social impact” after multiple users reported it.

“My staff and I would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone. Considering the seriousness of this issue and negative impact of the video itself, we discussed internally and decided to take it down… I wasn’t aware of his political thoughts and his past incorrect remarks about China. This is my negligence…” he wrote.

Ng added that he loved Chinese culture as he appealed for a “chance to improve.”

[cp]【致歉】

致各位罗杰叔叔粉丝与观众朋友们：

感谢大家一直以来对我的频道的关注，1月10日，我在频道上发布了和某YouTube博主合作的视频
[ Uncle Roger Review UGLIEST DUMPLING EVER ]，我意识到该视频引发了非常不好的社会影响。

在此，我与我的工作人员，向大家表示最诚挚的歉意！考虑到事态的严重性及视频本身可能造成的不好影响，我们在讨论后决定对其及合作内容作出全网删除处理。同时，恳请大家也不要再继续传播相关不良内容。

关于此视频，我和该博主沟通以及创作中，我并不了解他的政治想法，以及其过往对于中国不正确的言论。这一点是我的疏忽，我以后会加强内容管理审核。

作为一个马来西亚长大的华人，我非常热爱中国文化，也是我为什么开这个频道的原因。我想持续为大家带来更多优质、有趣的内容！

希望大家能够给予刚刚进入中国的罗杰叔叔一个改进的机会！

【APOLOGY STATEMENT】

To all Uncle Roger fans and audiences:

Thank you for your continued support for my channel. On January 10th, I posted a collab video called "Uncle Roger Review UGLIEST DUMPLING EVER" on YouTube. It has come to my understanding that this video has made a bad social impact.

My staff and I would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone. Considering the seriousness of this issue and the negative impact of the video itself, we discussed internally and decided to take it down from all platforms. At the same time, I urge everyone to please stop reposting content related to it.

During the process of working with the content-creator, I wasn't aware of his political thoughts and his past incorrect remarks about China. This is my negligence, and I will be more careful when I make content in the future.

As an Asian who grew up in Malaysia, I love Chinese culture, which is why I started my channel. Moving forward, I want to keep making even better videos to entertain you!

I hope you can give Uncle Roger, who has just entered China, a chance to improve!
