Koo Kuan-min mimicking CNN?

CNN, ""CNN would like to clarify that it was not Mr. Cafferty's, nor CNN's, intent to cause offense to the Chinese people, and [CNN] would apologize to anyone who has interpreted the comments in this way."

Taiwan's DPP chariman candidate, after telling the public that DPP should not be run by a single unmarried middled age woman (i.e., his competitor Ms Tsai Ying-wen) , "apologize", "If what I said made someone uncomfortable, I feel very sorry (如果他說的話有讓人覺得不舒服，他感到很抱歉)"

Is Koo very "CNN"?
