It’s clearly not the dominant global culture anymore if the Chinese can get Mbappe to apologize for this. This wouldn’t have happened 20/30 years ago. It means things have shifted. We are in a new era. And this attitude was engineered by the west themselves. They are sanctioning ICC judges, calling people who question their dark history “unpatriotic”, have become the surveillance states they hate so much so it’s acceptable for other countries to do this. Cos if you can lose your job by criticizing Israel, you can also apologize for calling Mao a dictator. Bad precedence has been set.
