Speaking as a Taiwanese, this “we are deeply sorry” stuff is standard PR template used by most corps here. They don’t mean it and we know they don’t, but they always include it anyway and everyone reading automatically skips the opening part of these PR messages. Only people read into that are foreigners (who don’t understand how this formality works) and propaganda pieces (who want to sound sincere for obvious reasons).

It's an article quoting a fragment of a quote from another article. I wouldn't get riled up without getting more context.
