Apology given for 'harming' a PLA founder

An online cartoon-making company publicly apologized to the family of Ye Ting, a former military leader, for making a video clip that harmed Ye's reputation. The compensation it was ordered to pay will be donated to a foundation.

In the apology, which was published in Monday's China Youth Daily, Xi'an Momo Information Technology said: "We feel deeply sorry and remorseful for making the video which not only harmed Ye Ting's reputation ... but also brought mental pain to family members of Ye and hurt the public's national and historical feelings."

The company also promised to respect history in the future.
