Kylian Mbappé dropped by Chinese brands over ‘dictator’ comment
Kylian Mbappé has lost support from major brands in China after a video surfaced where he seemingly mocks Mao Zedong. In the clip, he refers to a meme featuring his face superimposed on that of a Chinese dictator, which is seen as offensive in China. Jokes about Mao, a significant figure in Chinese history, are viewed as disrespectful.
