MAJOR DIPLOMATIC CRISIS: Chinese state television has officially SUSPENDED all La Liga broadcasts following explosive remarks made by Kylian Mbappé!
During a recent interview, the Real Madrid forward mocked internet memes about himself and controversially referred to former Chinese leader Mao Zedong as a “dictator.”
The backlash was swift and severe, prompting China to implement an immediate veto on Spanish football broadcasts alongside the complete removal of any images, advertisements, or mentions of Mbappé across state media.
Damage control was triggered instantly:
➡️ Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, stepped forward to issue a public apology, stating he “deeply regrets” the player’s declarations.
➡️ Kylian Mbappé himself released a formal statement to defuse the situation: “My comment was ill-advised and I understand that it has hurt many people in China.”
