Kylian Mbappé loses three Chinese sponsors after remarks about Mao Zedong

Three Chinese companies—Dongpeng, Mengniu and Milkground—have ended their partnerships with Kylian Mbappé after a video circulated in which he reportedly called Mao Zedong a “Chinese dictator.” The clip, which shows Mbappé referring to a meme depicting his face on Mao’s body, prompted calls for a boycott on Chinese social media; AFP had not independently verified the video’s authenticity. The Real Madrid forward and France captain apologized to the Chinese public, acknowledging that his comment was ill-advised and may have caused offense.

Senegal Leads WAEMU in Industrialisation: The Limits of Its Performance

Senegal ranks eighth in Africa and first in WAEMU in the African Development Bank’s Industrialisation Index for 2010–2024, with a score of 0.6368. The daily Les Échos says the ranking reflects factors including macroeconomic stability, institutional quality and infrastructure, but does not necessarily indicate significant growth in manufacturing output. Senegal still faces limited local processing of resources, high electricity costs, difficulties securing long-term industrial finance for small businesses, a large informal sector and a shortage of relevant technical skills. To turn its standing into tangible industrial progress amid the AfCFTA, Les Échos recommends linking local firms more closely to value chains, strengthening special economic zones and using gas projects to help lower energy costs.

Arrears for the peculiar allowance, approved with effect from 1 May 2026, are expected to be paid in three equal monthly instalments beginning in November. A minimum-wage negotiation committee will begin work immediately, though the parties remain divided over the new wage’s effective date; the tax-relief issue will be referred to the National Executive Council. They will reconvene in one month to review implementation.
