(a) "贝克哈姆上周应邀访问上海和香港，并被友邦保险任命为其 '全球大使。' 他周六在Instagram上传一段录像，并加了一句话的说明：'在中国度过了很棒的48小时' ([actually in English:]  great [sic: Beckham writes 'Great'] 48 hours in China）。

"这句话在香港引起一些网民不满。他们指出，香港和中国大陆制度完全不同，连足球队都是独立于中国国家队之外的 [BBC English quotes a Hong Kong blog: 'We have our own government, currency, even football team!']。

(b) "引发争议后，贝克哈姆把那句话改成：'在上海和香港度过了很棒的48小时'（Great 48 hours in Shanghai and Hong Kong），避开了有关香港地位的争论。
