Chinese actor Gong Jun, who previously endorsed a Vitasoy lemon-flavoured drink, announced late on Friday he was ending commercial cooperation with the company, said Global Times, a tabloid published by the ruling Chinese Communist Party's official People's Daily newspaper.His announcement followed that of another Chinese actor, Ren Jialun, who said he was also ceasing co-operation with Vitasoy, the newspaper added.
Hong Kong authorities warned on Sunday that advocating for people to mourn for the attacker was no different from"supporting terrorism" and criticised parents who took children to mourn him.
