Chinese officials take action to ban Mbappe! "CCTV" announces complete suspension of broadcast of La Liga matches

In an interview broadcast on the 26th, French football superstar Kylian Mbappe allegedly called Mao Zedong the "dictateur chinois" (dictateur chinois), triggering a frenzy in China. Many Chinese companies immediately cut off and announced the termination of cooperation with Mbappe. Now the official has also taken drastic measures. CCTV announced that it will completely stop broadcasting La Liga games including Mbappe's Real Madrid team.

According to Chinese media reports, when Mbappe was interviewed by the talk show "The Bridge", he was asked which of his memes he liked. He pointed out that the funniest one was the one that replaced "Chinese Dictator" with his face. He would also forward it to friends when he plays games in private.

Although Mbappe did not clearly say who it was, the talk show attached a meme picture next to it. It was a meme picture of Mao Zedong changing his face into Mbappe.

Many Chinese companies, including Dongpeng Beverage, Mengniu Dairy and Magic Lando, have issued statements announcing the termination of all cooperation with Mbappe. Now the official has also taken a big step. "CCTV" announced that in response to Mbappe's serious negative behavior related to China, CCTV has stopped the broadcast of events involving La Liga and Mbappe starting last night, and all advertisements involving Mbappe have been removed from the shelves.
