Mbappé’s remarks about China: Chinese football federation demands an apology from Real Madrid

The Chinese Football Association demanded public, formal apologies from Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé over remarks that hurt the Chinese people. Mbappé acknowledged that comments he made in a recent interview were inappropriate and apologized to people offended in China and Chinese communities worldwide. His apology did not satisfy public broadcaster CMG, which had suspended broadcasts of La Liga and matches involving Mbappé and withdrawn its advertising. On October 27, Javier Tebas condemned the striker’s conduct while saying La Liga’s commitment to China remained unwavering.
