After Kylian Mbappé's comments on Mao, Chinese television skips La Liga

Chinese state television CCTV has canceled the broadcast of a La Liga match due to a controversy involving Kylian Mbappé. The decision follows a resurfaced video where Mbappé jokingly refers to Mao Zedong as a "Chinese dictator." This has led to a backlash, with three companies terminating contracts with the player. Despite apologies from Mbappé and his team, CCTV has not aired any La Liga matches, highlighting the sensitivity surrounding historical figures in China. Real Madrid's coach, José Mourinho, commented on the situation, suggesting that sometimes silence is preferable.
