Beckham posted a video of Hong Kong on Instagram and Facebook, saying he had a "great 48 hours in China" -- something netizens quickly picked up on.

Unfortunately, this provoked anger from a whole other group of netizens, that saw his statement as anti-Chinese.

Beckham was in Hong Kong promoting insurance firm AIA, for which he's now the new global ambassador.

And with the recent election of a new chief executive that is said to be pro-Beijing, many believe that the Chinese government is tightening its grip on Hong Kong -- an issue that has caused increasing tension between the two regions.
