But its mea culpa received short shrift on the Chinese social media network Weibo, similar to X, where users accused the firm of dragging its feet for weeks before acknowledging its error.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/13\/aaaa4481-772a-484b-aa19-99705a6c2556\/thumbnail\/620x413\/822b92fde25fe34e3cc88642b64100fe\/gettyimages-1232173693.jpg?v=066dbb4b2d59b81da3e12f1cdf8a1b39#\" alt=\"Inside A Haidilao Hot Pot Restaurant Ahead of CPI Figures \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/13\/aaaa4481-772a-484b-aa19-99705a6c2556\/thumbnail\/620x413\/822b92fde25fe34e3cc88642b64100fe\/gettyimages-1232173693.jpg?v=066dbb4b2d59b81da3e12f1cdf8a1b39 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/13\/aaaa4481-772a-484b-aa19-99705a6c2556\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/c8cd477196c925f1d9814ea11d550758\/gettyimages-1232173693.jpg?v=066dbb4b2d59b81da3e12f1cdf8a1b39 2x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20413'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">An employee serves a dish inside a Haidilao hotpot restaurant, operated by Haidilao International Holding Ltd., in Shanghai, China, on Wednesday, April 7, 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Bloomberg<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Where was this (apology) at the beginning?

<\/p>\n<p>A prominent chain of braised chicken restaurants apologized this week after state media revealed unsanitary practices at some of its franchise stores, including the use of rotting
