Believe me, if this Malaysian's remarks really hurt the American people, we will not express any dissatisfaction. We can even criticize this person with the American people.
Should we not distinguish right from wrong? What does it have to do with revenue stream?
First, as pvg said, a massive protest is not analogous to 9/11.
But, let's put even that aside for a moment, and pretend that they are analogous. The more proper analogy is this: Pretend that after 9/11, a Malaysian singer working for a Chinese recording company made the comment you suggested, and Americans got upset with it, put pressure on the Chinese company that the star belonged to (because the Chinese company was going to lose support and profits from American audience), and the Chinese company fired the Malaysian star.
You're ok with this? You think the Chinese company bending over backwards to please the American people to keep their revenue stream, is entirely fine? Considering the Malaysian star's political opinion is even aligned with your own country's?
