Bwhahahaha do the Chinese really think that Mao wasn't a dictator
🚨💣 CONFIRMED: China State TV SUSPENDS La Liga coverage after Kylian Mbappé’s comments on Mao Zedong. @EFEnoticias ❌
Attends les chinois s’en prennent à mbappé parce qu’il a dit que Mao Zedong est un dictateur ?? Un mec qui a provoqué une famine qui a fait entre 30 et 45 MILLIONS de morts. Il a persécuté, humilié et exécuté…purgé ses opposants
Vous voulez qu’on dise le GOAT c’est ça ???
first sentence is so insane
Mao supported African peoples' struggles for independence, including Algeria, the country Mbappé’s family came from.
With his deeply inappropriate remarks, Mbappé has lost the trust of Chinese fans. International brands such as Dior, On and Hublot have also removed Mbappé-related content from Sina Weibo.
Global superstars who profit from China should understand its cultural sensitivities and show basic respect.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mbappé called Mao, not Chinese people, a dictator. China's support for Algeria does not negate Mao's authoritarian rule.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: The controversy surrounding Kylian Mbappé in China is now affecting the stock market!
Swiss sportswear brand ON, which recently signed Mbappé as an ambassador following his departure from Nike, saw its shares DROP by 3.5% in pre-market trading on Wall Street on Tuesday.
Investors are concerned about the potential impact of the controversy on the brand’s reputation in China.
The Asia-Pacific region accounts for MORE THAN 20% of ON’s global sales.
The company has over 80 stores in China and aims to reach 100 by the end of the year.

Seems like a fuss is being made of Jude congratulating his England captain, someone he's known since he was a teenager, someone who mentioned Jude at the award ceremony. Atp I don't understand this silliness anymore. Every little thing is blown out of proportion like high school teenage girls. It's ridiculous
A special night in London as #ThreeLions captain Harry Kane joined football's elite club 🔝
Congratulations to all the England players recognised at last night's #BallonDor awards ⤵️ 🏆
