TOUS 4802 Kylian Mbappe ses excuses ne suffisent pas a calmer la colere en Chine

Despite his public apology for remarks deemed offensive about Mao Zedong, Kylian Mbappé remains heavily criticized on Chinese social media. The French national team captain is facing significant commercial repercussions: several Chinese brands have severed their partnerships with him, while his accounts on certain platforms have been restricted. This controversy, sparked by a video clip in which he discusses a humorous montage depicting him as the former Chinese leader, is damaging the player's image in a market that is strategic for football and its sponsors. China, however, is taking Kylian Mbappé's apology seriously.
