Chinese television confirms suspension of La Liga and rejects explanations from Real Madrid

Chinese state television confirmed the suspension of La Liga broadcasts due to Kylian Mbappé's comments, rejecting Real Madrid's explanations. The CMG stated that Mbappé's remarks crossed a line, and they will not resume broadcasts until a satisfactory apology is issued. The controversy arose from Mbappé referencing a meme featuring Mao Zedong, which he described as a 'Chinese dictator.' Several Chinese companies have ended partnerships with him. La Liga's president condemned Mbappé's behavior and sought a resolution with the Chinese ambassador. The Global Times warned international celebrities against disrespecting Chinese sensitivities while profiting from the market.
