Mbappe getting treated like those idols who get cancelled for saying they like someone. He didn’t even mock Chinese people, just said he find the dictator meme funny😭😭 this is so nasty
Mao supported African peoples' struggles for independence, including Algeria, the country Mbappé’s family came from.
With his deeply inappropriate remarks, Mbappé has lost the trust of Chinese fans. International brands such as Dior, On and Hublot have also removed Mbappé-related content from Sina Weibo.
Global superstars who profit from China should understand its cultural sensitivities and show basic respect.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mbappé called Mao, not Chinese people, a dictator. China's support for Algeria does not negate Mao's authoritarian rule.

Some black Londoners love turning everything into a ‘joke’, to the point where disrespecting and diminishing others becomes acceptable as long as it’s framed as banter. They need to grow up ngl
Using your platform to mock someone who received an award for helping kids in need, nice one @AJKNOWSBALL17
I’ve always been very critical of Kane and not much of how I see him has changed but as a human I think it’s harsh to not want to give him his prop on a night where he’s won the ballon d’or.
This is by far the biggest defining moment of Harry Kanes career!
Team void of ideas, Congo unreal performance, on the cusp of getting KOed and he scores this.
It isn’t as high as Yamal/messi/jude Mbappes best moments but that Congo game in the World Cup was an insane defining moment. Guy single handily pulled 2 goals out of his ass on the cusp of us getting KOed.
Olise got done so dirty omg, it’s insane he finished 9th. Being an introvert and not outgoing actually hurt his image wtf.
